WILL’S LIFE.
William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-Upon-Avon on April 23rd 1564. Records from the Holy Trinity Church show that he was baptised on 26th April 1564.
William Shakespeare was the son of John Shakespeare, a leather merchant, and Mary Arden, daughter of a local farmer. Church records prove that Shakespeare was one of eight children to the Shakespeare household, sadly however, three died during childhood. Shakespeare is said to have gone to a free grammar school in his home town, but there is no proof. The excellence and talent of his works show that he had a solid education.
