No scholars think Shakespeare was a fraud, or ever did. Some fringe theorists think that the scholars are frauds for insisting that the William Shakespeare who wrote all those plays and poetry is the same person as the William Shakespeare who was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, was married, had kids, owned property and died there, and also owned property in London, where he was well known as an actor and member of a theatre company and was close friends with the other members of that company, which happened to be the only company which ever performed the plays attributed to William Shakespeare. These theorists claim that the plays and poetry were really written by someone else who for some reason allowed them to be published under the name of Mr. Shakespeare who, along with most of the London theatre community of the day, were involved in a huge conspiracy to keep this secret. No coherent reason is ever given for why anyone would do that.

Where did Shakespeare get married?
As with many aspects of Shakespeare's life, there is disagreement between scholars as to the exact location of his marriage. The most likely place is Saint Andrews Church at Temple Grafton, a village near Stratford-Upon-Avon. Some people think it was at Shottery, where Anne was from.
Who was the main individual many scholars believe was actually William Shakespeare?
Francis Bacon was the main contender in the 19th century. The current leader is Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford. There are dozens of others. However, there are not "many scholars" who believe that the works of Shakespeare were written by anyone other than William Shakespeare of Stratford.
How many plays did Shakespeare write before he retired?
This is a harder question than you might think. Scholars agree that Shakespeare wrote in whole or in part the 37 plays in the Second Folio, and there is general agreement that he at least partly wrote The Two Noble Kinsmen. There is also evidence that he wrote other plays that have not come down to us, including Cardenio and Love's Labours Won. Finally there are plays which some people think might be by Shakespeare but others do not, like Edward III or The Second Maiden's Tale (which some scholars have suggested might really be Cardenio)
Did William Shakespeare go to London or have his children first?
Shakespeare's children were born in 1583 and 1585. There is no record of Shakespeare in London until 1592. Scholars speculate that he went to London between 1590 and 1591.
