William Shakespeare did have two sisters named Joan, but not at the same time. The first sister named Joan died as an infant.
Yes and no. Shakespeare had two sisters called Joan. The second was certainly baptised. The first may have died before she was baptised, which was why her name was reused.
William was the oldest of his siblings to make it past childhood. The Shakespeares had had two daughters before him who both died as babies before William was born. He had two younger sisters and three younger brothers. Only his sister Joan outlived him.
He had two sisters who died as babies before he was born--nobody is interested in them. His younger sister Anne died of the plague when she was eight. His other sister Joan outlived him (and all her other brothers) and inherited the family home to live in for the rest of her life, which she did. She was married to a hatter called Thomas Hart.
He had four sisters, but they had only three names among them. Why? Because his eldest sister Joan died when she was a baby. After his sister Margaret, he had another sister and they called her Joan too. Margaret and Anne died before the age of 10; only the second Joan lived to be an adult.
William Shakespeare had 3 brothers and 4 sisters. One, Joan, was named for an earlier sister who died as an infant. Another sister, Margaret, also died before he was born. His sisters were Joan (I), Margaret, Joan (II) and Anne. Only the second Joan lived to adulthood. His brothers, all younger, were Gilbert, Richard, and Edmund.
