Henry VIII and his Six Wives Ages

I have been doing some research. I was reading a young adult novel about a teenaged Anne Boleyn. It got me to wondering how old Henry and each of his wives were when they got married. I thought I'd put my findings up here.

Henry VIII was born in 1491.

Catherine of Aragon was born in 1485. She married Henry in 1509. She was 23; he was 18.

Anne Boleyn was born between 1501 - 1507. She married Henry in 1533. She was 26-32; he was 42.

Jane Seymour was born in 1508. She married Henry in 1536. She was 28; he was 45.

Anne of Cleves was born in 1515. She married Henry in 1540. She was 25; he was 49. 

Catherine Howard was born in 1523. She married Henry in 1540. She was 16 or 17; he was 49.

Catherine Parr was born in 1512. She married Henry in 1543. She was 31; he was 52.
