There is barley any personal information that survived Elizabethan times, except for plays,legal and church documents. he was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in April 23 1564. He was born the 3rd out of 8 children, 3 of them died. Williams father's name was John Shakespeare his mother was Mary Arden,his father was a merchant,his mother a heiress. As a young boy he attended a free grammar thats where he learned latin and classic greek he never went to a University,because of this there is a debate about the authorship of some plays.
                                                        Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway
  Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway, they had 3 kids and a set of twins, 1 of the twins died at 11. 7 years after his twins were born he disappeared from all legal documents in 1588. He showed up again in 1592 this was also known as The Lost Years. He established himself as a actor and play writer this caused a lot of people to be jealous because he was so young and talented. His success allowed him to retire in comfort to stratford in 1611, where he died on his birthday in 1616.
