  1. That is just not true! why lie? Here... it's officially written that: "Shakespeare was the son of John Shakespeare, an alderman and successful glove-maker originally from Snitterfield in Warwickshire, and Mary Arden, the daughter of an affluent landowning family.  He was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, where he was baptised on 26 April 1564.  His date of birth is unknown, but is traditionally observed on 23 April, Saint George's Day. This date, which can be traced to William Oldys and George Steevens, to biographers because Shakespeare died on the same date in 1616. He was the third of eight children, and the eldest surviving son. Although no attendance records for the period survive, most biographers agree that Shakespeare was educated at the King's New School in Stratford, a free school chartered in 1553, about a quarter-mile (400 m) from his home. Grammar schools varied in quality during the Elizabethan era, but grammar school curricula were largely similar:  1. basic Latin text was standardised by royal decree, and.. 2. the school would have provided an intensive education in grammar based upon Latin classical authors. At the age of 18, Shakespeare married 26-year-old Anne Hathaway. The consistory court of the Diocese of Worcester issued a marriage licence on 27 November 1582. The next day, two of Hathaway's neighbours posted bonds guaranteeing that no lawful claims impeded the marriage. The ceremony arranged in some haste since the Worcester chancellor allowed the marriage banns to be read once instead of the usual three times, and six months after the marriage Anne gave birth to a daughter, Susanna, baptised 26 May 1583. Twins, son Hamnet and daughter Judith, followed almost two years later and were baptised 2 February 1585. After the birth of the twins, Shakespeare until he is mentioned as part of the London theatre scene in 1592 . Exception: appearance of his name in "complaints bill" of a law case before the Queen's Bench court at Westminster dated; "Michaelmas Term 1588 and 9 October 1589". .  1. Nicholas Rowe, his first biographer, recounted a Stratford legend that Shakespeare fled the town for London to escape prosecution for deer poaching in the estate of local squire Thomas Lucy.  2. Shakespeare is also taken his revenge on Lucy by writing a scurrilous ballad about him. 3.. 18th-century story has Shakespeare starting his theatrical career minding the horses of theatre patrons in London. 4. John Aubrey reported that Shakespeare had been a country schoolmaster. 5. Some 20th-century scholars suggested that Shakespeare employed as a schoolmaster by Alexander Hoghton of Lancashire, a Catholic landowner who named a certain "William Shakeshafte" in his will.
