Love, Marriage, & Babies in Baby Carriages
Shakespeare's marriage certificate was issued on November 27, 1582. He married Anne Hathaway who was not only eight years his senior, but also pregnant.
7 months later, in May of 1583, they had their first born child named Susana. Two years later, in January of 1585, Anne and William Shakespeare had a set of twins, whom they named Hamnet and Judith. They named the twins after his close friends, Hamnet and Judith Sadler.
Anne and William's only son, Hamnet died at age 11, in 1596. Looks like the Shakespeare last name shortly came to an end at that time.
