It doesn't matter because it is impossible that Bacon or de Vere or anyone other than Shakespeare wrote them.

Did William Shakespeare ever stay in bournemouth?

Apart from Stratford and London, there is very little record of what other places in England Shakespeare may have gone to. That being said, the playing companies sometimes went on tour when the London theatres were closed, and wandered from town to town looking for new engagements. It is possible that during one of these tours Shakespeare may have come to Bournemouth. Or not.

What was William Shakespeare's middle name?

People in Shakespeare's day had no concept of a "real name". Thus William Shakespeare's name is William Shakespeare even though the entry in the baptismal register reads "Guliemus filius Johannes Shakspere", or in English, "William the son of John Shakspere" The number of spelling variants for Shakespeare's last name is legendary, and as far as Shakespeare's contemporaries were concerned, none was more "real" than any other. Centuries of custom have hallowed the form "William Shakespeare". This is the standard spelling. You can call him "Guliemus Shakspere" if you like, but this is no more "real" than any other spelling.
