            William Shakespeare had three children with his wife Anne Hathaway.

            The eldest of these was Susanna Shakespeare (later Hall), who lived between 1583 and 1649.

            The Shakespeares' had only one son, Hamnet, who was one of two twins and who died aged eleven of unknown causes. He lived from 1585 to 1596.

            The second of these twins was Judith Shakespeare (later Quiney), William and Anne's youngest daughter, born in 1585 and died in 1662.

            Shakespeare was the father of three children. Susannah, Hamnet and Juliet. Hamnet, his only son, died, aged 11, in 1596,  when he was writing King John. Scholars may have detected his grief in the words of Constance, mother of the dead Prince Arthur, when lamenting his death. Juliet married Thomas Quiney in  February 1616. After celebrating with two playwrighting friends, Shakespeare was confined to bed with a serious chill. Then, his brother- in -law, a Mr Hart, died and then this same Thomas Quiney, was accused of making Margaret Wheeler pregnant, who died in childbirth along with her baby!  The acrimony , shame and  revulsion, was enough to kill Shakespeare!
