Editing Catherine Parr (section)

===First marriage (1529–1533)===
In 1529, when she was seventeen, Catherine married [[Sir Edward Burgh]] (pronounced and sometimes written as ''Borough''), a grandson of [[Edward Burgh, 2nd Baron Burgh]].{{sfn|Porter|2011|p=46}} Earlier biographies had mistakenly reported that Catherine had married the older Burgh.{{sfn|Mosley 1|2003|p=587}} Following the 2nd Baron Burgh's death in December 1528, Catherine's father-in-law Sir [[Thomas Burgh, 1st Baron Burgh|Thomas Burgh]] was summoned to [[Parliament of England|Parliament]] in 1529 as [[Baron Burgh]].{{sfn|Porter|2011|p=52}}

Catherine's first husband was in his twenties and may have been in poor health. He served as a [[feoffee]] for Thomas Kiddell and as a [[justice of the peace]]. His father also secured a joint patent in survivorship with his son for the office of steward of the manor of the [[Soke (legal)|soke]] of [[Kirton in Lindsey]]. The younger Sir Edward Burgh died in the spring of 1533, not surviving to inherit the title of Baron Burgh.{{sfn|James|2009|pp=60–63}}{{sfn|Porter|2011|p=56}}
