Dear Dave,
This particular line turns out to be an error- Dorothy Vernon was
indeed a Heveningham, but was mistakenly attributed to the senior
branch a few centuries back without foundation. She was actually
daughter of Christopher Heveningham of Aston, Staffs, and doesn't have
the Boleyn descent. FWIW her parentage has been corrected in the latest
Burke's Peerage. There are plenty of actual descendants of Sir Anthony
Heveningham though; Rose in Surrey, who posts here, is an expert on
that particular family.
