Geoffrey Boleyn was the son of Geoffrey Boleyn (d. 1440) yeoman of Salle, Norfolk, and Alice,〔Franklyn, Charles Aubrey Hamilton, The Genealogy of Anne the Quene, 1977〕 and grandson of Thomas Boleyn (d. 1411) of Salle and Anne, an heiress, daughter of Sir John Bracton, a Norfolk knight. He went to London, was apprenticed to a hatter, and became a freeman of the city through the Hatter’s Company in 1428. In 1429 he transferred to a grander livery company, the Mercers’ Company, of which he became master in 1454.〔Franklyn, op. cit.〕 As a wealthy mercer he served as a Sheriff of London in 1447, as member of parliament for the city in 1449, as alderman in 1452, and Lord Mayor of London in 1457/8,〔Beavan, ''The Aldermen of London'', p. 17〕 and was knighted〔"Six Wives", by David Starkey, published by HarperCollins Publishers, 2003, p.257〕 by King Henry VI.〔.〕 He purchased the manor of Blickling in Norfolk from Sir John Fastolf in 1452, and Hever Castle in Kent in 1462.〔
He was buried in the church of St Lawrence Jewry in the City of London.〔
