Marriage and Family
After William Shakespeare left school, he married Anne Hathaway at age eighteen in 1582. She was expecting their first born child, Susanna, at the time. Three years later, the couple bore twins Judith and Hamnet, which was the last of their children. When Shakespeare took a theatre career in London, Anne stayed in Stratford with their children.
The Early Years
Shakespeare was born approximately on April 23, 1564. He was the son of a glove maker and was the eldest child, with three younger brothers and two younger sisters.
