Yes Catherine and Henry Carey are the two illegitimate children Henry fathered with Anne Boleyn's older sister Mary Boleyn.
Though someone said Henry Carey looked like the king, he was not acknowledged as such (while Henry Fitzroy was). It is possible, but not proven that it was so.

What happened to the son Mary Boleyn had?
Henry Carey, born March 1526, was Mary's second child (her first child, Catherine, was born in 1524). King Henry the VIII is widely reputed to be the father of at least Henry, if not Catherine as well. Henry Carey's legal father, William Carey, died from the sweating sickness in June 1528 when Henry was 2 years old. Henry and his sister Catherine came under the wardship of Anne Boleyn, who was engaged to King Henry the VIII at the time. The children had active contact with their mother until her banishment from court in 1535. Acting as her nephew's patron, Anne Boleyn provided Henry with top-quality education until she was beheaded in May 1536, when Henry was 10 years old. His mother died in 1543 and he was returned to his family. In May 1545 Henry married Anne Morgan, daughter of Sir Thomas and Anne Morgan. They had twelve children in total, although only eight survived - sons George, John, Henry, William, Edmund, Robert (plus an unknown son) and daughters Katherine, Philadelphia and Margaret. Henry also has several illegitimate children, including Valentine Carey, who served under his father in the military. Henry Carey died at Somerset House on July 23rd 1596 and was buried at Westminster Abbey.
Why was Henry Carey not acknowledged by Henry V111?
There are many reasons why King Henry never acknowledged Henry Carey. It is possible that King Henry was NOT the father of Mary Bolelyn's son, as he was birthed after the affair ended. It's widely debated as to whether or not Henry was conceived within the correct timeframe to the King's son. (Meanwhile, Mary's daughter, Catherine, was conceived and birthed during their affair-- irrelevant to the question, but food for thought). It is also possible that King Henry never acknowledged Henry Carey because, upon his birth, the King had fallen in love with Mary Boleyn's sister, Anne. Admitedly marrying his own son's aunt could have been quite troublesome for the King's reputation and spiritual wellbeing, which is held to the highest esteem.
