Best Answer

Shakespeare had three children - Susanna and twins: Hamnet and Judith.

Susanna died as of natural old age.

Some people think that Hamnet died of the Black death or The Bubonic Plague but this is extremely unlikely since there was no record of any unusual deaths in Stratford at that time. There was no plague in Stratford at the time Hamnet died.

Judith also died of natural causes.

He had three grandsons. One, called Shakespeare, died when he was a baby. The other two died at almost the same time when they were both about twenty years old. Perhaps they both caught the same disease at the same time

Shakespeare's son's name is usually spelled Hamnet, as we do not actually have any documentation that he was ever called Hamlet. (Hamnet Sadler, the guy he was named for, was sometimes called Hamlet) We know he died when he was eleven, and that there was no epidemic going on in Stratford at the time. Apart from that we don't knwo anything.
