He probably borrowed the the plot from an earlier play.
The Royal Shakespeare Company is based in Stratford upon Avon, Warwickshire, England.
When Hamlet speaks of his father's death, Ophelia corrects him by pointing out that he should remember the goodness of his father, King Hamlet, rather than expressing despair. She emphasizes that Hamlet's father was a noble man and that his death should be honored rather than dwelled upon in sorrow. This correction reflects Ophelia's loyalty to her father and her desire to remind Hamlet of the positive aspects of his father's legacy.

Laertes is a foil to Hamlet. Unlike Hamlet he does not reflect upon the task at hand, which is avenging his father's murder. He does not think about whether it is morally correct to conspire with the king, Claudius, to kill Hamlet for revenge. Fortenbras could also be considered a foil to Hamlet because he is just the opposite of Hamlet when it comes to decisions and following them through. B.Gene apex ;)

He was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, England.
There is no reason to believe so. The story of Hamlet was well-known long before Shakespeare heard about it, and some of the lines of his character were already drawn. Whether he was inspired to change aspects of that character by someone he knew is anyone's guess.
No, he was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, also in England.
It is based upon the income of the mother and father of the child.
Stratford upon Avon is about 100 miles from Central London.
Stratford upon Avon is, as the name says, on the river Avon.
The ghost's appearance to Hamlet, rather than to Gertrude, serves to emphasize Hamlet's unique burden as the avenger of his father's murder. The ghost reveals important truths about King Hamlet's death that only Hamlet can act upon. By not appearing to Gertrude, the ghost underscores her complicity and the complexity of her relationship with Claudius, while also allowing Hamlet to grapple with his own feelings of betrayal and moral obligation. This selective communication heightens the tension between duty and familial loyalty central to the play.
