Detailed explanation-1: -William Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway in November 1582 and they remained married until Shakespeare’s death. At the time of their marriage William was 18, while Anne was 26-and pregnant with their first child.
Detailed explanation-2: -William Shakespeare and his wife Anne had three children. The eldest, Susanna, was baptised on 26 May 1583. They also had twins, Judith and Hamnet, baptised on 2 February 1585. Shakespeare had four grandchildren who all died without heirs, so there are no direct descendants of his line today.
Detailed explanation-3: -Very little is known about Anne and William’s relationship. All we can say with certainty is that they married, had three children together, Susanna, Judith and Hamnet, and they remained married until Shakespeare’s death in 1616. Upon his death, Shakespeare left his ‘second best bed’ to Anne in his will.
Detailed explanation-4: -On November 28, 1582, William Shakespeare, 18, and Anne Hathaway, 26, pay a 40-pound bond for their marriage license in Stratford-upon-Avon. Six months later, Anne gives birth to their daughter, Susanna, and two years later, to twins. Little is known about Shakespeare’s early life.
