Yes, Shakespeare's father, John Shakespeare, served as a bailiff in Stratford-upon-Avon. The position was similar to that of a local magistrate, responsible for overseeing the town's affairs and ensuring the enforcement of local laws. In addition to his role as bailiff, he was also involved in various trades, including glove-making. His position likely provided William Shakespeare with a degree of social standing and access to education.
