In 1596, when Shakespeare was living in Bishopsgate, his son Hamnet Shakespeare died. Hamnet was 11, and some historians suspect he died of the plague although others point out that there was no plague outbreak in Stratford at the time. There was, however a plague outbreak in London at the time, which is why the Lord Chamberlain's Men were on tour in Kent at the time Hamnet died. This may be the cause of the confusion.
