There are very few known facts about William Shakespeare's personal life:
1. When he was baptised
2. Who his parents and siblings were
3. Who he married, and when they took out their marriage licence.
4. When he had kids, their names and what happened to them
5. When and where he died and was buried, but not how he died.
6. What property he owned in Stratford.
7. Where he lived in London (since he was called as a witness in a lawsuit involving his landlord)
8. What his will said.
9. When he died, and where he is buried.
Just about everything else is guesswork. About his professional life we know rather more; we know what theatrical company he belonged to, the name of some of the plays he performed in, the names of theatres he was part owner of, and we have copies of quite a lot of things that he wrote as part of his job as a professional writer.
