Detailed explanation-1: -Shakespeare’s father was known to be a glovemaker, but he also worked as a wool-dealer and informal money-lender, occupations that got him in trouble with the law. Government informers accused him of illegal activity in those trades between the years of 1569 and 1572.
Detailed explanation-2: -His father, John Shakespeare, was a burgess of the borough, who in 1565 was chosen an alderman and in 1568 bailiff (the position corresponding to mayor, before the grant of a further charter to Stratford in 1664). He was engaged in various kinds of trade and appears to have suffered some fluctuations in prosperity.
Detailed explanation-3: -His father was fined for making a dunghill outside his house. (A dunghill is the polite way of describing what we would flush down the toilet!) 5. He was born in Stratford-upon-Avon.
