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.

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.

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.

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.
