Shakespeare's Biography

My name is Matthew and I have been studying William Shakespeare in my class.

William Shakespeare was born on April 23, 1564.Williams parents were John and Mary Shakespeare. In 1666 Williams brother Gilbert was born. William went to school in Stratford-Upon-Avon, the exact same place that he lived. At the age of 18 Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway and a year later their first child Suzanna was born and another year later Anne had twins named Hamnet and Judith soon on Shakespeare moved to London and left his family behind. By then Shakespeare was 30 and had written many plays, but sadly in 1595 Williams son Hamnet died but Shakespeare moved on and carried on writing plays. But the tragedies didn't stop there because in 1600 Shakespeares father died and as I said he carried on writing and by that time Shakespeare had written many more plays including Julius Caeser and Romeo and Juliet. In 1610 Shakespeare was 46 and moved back to his hometown of Stratford-Upon-Avon. Shakespeare had spent six years with family and on his birthday he died the precise date is April 23, 1616 and was buried in his hometown 2 days later. Anne had outlived her husband by 7 years she died in 1623 the same year that the first collection of Shakespeares plays were published. Strange huh.
