Like most questions about Shakespeare's life, we don't really know the answer. Here are some suggestions:

1. Some historians have speculated that William and Anne may have lived with William's parents at Henley Street, Stratford.

2. Germaine Greer, in her excellent biography of Anne Shakespeare, Shakespeare's Wife, says that it was a firm rule that if a couple was to live together, they needed their own place to live. She cites as a possibility that, although they were married, Will lived with his parents and Anne with hers until they were able to get their own place.

3. Alternatively, Greer suggests that they could have afforded to rent the cheapest form of hovel (a cottage). This would make them similar to most other poor and newly married couples.
