It depends on which family members you are talking about. Shakespeare's mother was from a family with strongly Catholic leanings, and a document (of disputed veracity) has been found in which his father confesses himself to be a secret Catholic. But on the other hand, Shakespeare's daughter was strongly Protestant and married a man with Puritan leanings. She was fined for not attending church, a failing both of Puritans and secret Catholics. Shakespeare himself, however, was a faithful church attender and never did anything which would put his status as a Church of England member (and thus a moderate Protestant) in any doubt.

What did Henry's royal family keep changing the church to?

Henry VIII removed England's church hierarchy away from that of the Vatican, so that the bishops worked for him instead of the Pope. Having sent the monks home from the Monasteries and sold the buildings, he decided not to make the Church Protestant but instead keep the teachings largely the same as the Catholic Church.After his death, the family of his successor the young Edward VI introduced Protestant teachings and persecuted those who wished to remain Catholic. After his early death, his eventual successor (and sister) Mary I brought the Church back into the Roman Catholic church and persecuted Protestants. She also died early, and her sister Elizabeth I took the church pretty much Protestant again, but with much less persecution.It is still a Protestant church, but still retains some Catholic traditions you wouldn't find elsewhere in Protestantism.

Was Queen Elizabeth a Catcholic or Protestant Queen?

protestant The Church of England still considers itself a "catholic" church, just not a "Roman Catholic" church. For instance, all Bibles used in all Anglican services -- included the one commanded by King James I -- include the Apocrypha, which Protestants consider (well) apocryphal. So take your pick.

What did Henry VIII do when he was uable to get divorce under catholic church law?

King Henry VIII was married at this time. As most people know, in a monarchy, the King must have an heir to the throne in order to keep his family in power. Henry VIII's wife was unable to have a child, and there was another woman he was in love with. Since he was forbidden under Catholic law to divorce, he broke away from the Catholic church and formed the Anglican Church, or the Church of England. Other pilgrims who had broken from the Roman Catholic Church to form other Protestant branches of Christianity journeyed to the New World (America) seeking religious freedom. That is how the Protestant religions were made.

What steps does a Catholic need to do in order to get married in a protestant church?

Nothing except face the possible anger of their Catholic family.
