Doing research I find this Person Had no issue even though he Married 3 Times his estates Passed to His Nephew Henry Herbert 2nd Earl of Pembroke
So who are the Parents of The Parr siblings ?

I have no idea who are the parents of all those children, bur you are right, they weren’t his. They were all added in the same day by the same user; clearly someone just had wrong information. I have detached them. I will see if I can find homes for them.

Hello Anne,
thanks for taking the time to reply, although it must be disappointing for some people I think They are the Children of Lady Anne Bourchier, 7th Baroness Bourchier & her Lover John Lyngfield.
She was after all Married at aged 10 to Sir William Parr and they never got together as it were, for some 12 years - But she then Eloped With Lyngfield Then Parr went to Parliament stating a child begotten in adultery and that the said child and all future children she may have shall be held bastards.

Best Regards

Steve

None of the children I detached had children, so I think no one’s line has been changed.

But that she had no children is well documented.

Parr, suffering acutely from gout, died without legitimate issue(?), although records exist of a son, † Robert, from Elisabeth and a son William (Thomas), from Anne Bourchier*,
