Shakespeare’s Children

Susanna Shakespeare (later Hall) (1583-1649)

On 5 June 1607, Susanna married Dr John Hall, a well known and prosperous Stratford physician. Susanna’s marriage to John Hall likely pleased Shakespeare tremendously, for Shakespeare appointed John and Susanna executors of his will. Susanna moved into Hall’s Croft – John Hall’s family home after the wedding, and on 21 February 1608 gave birth to William Shakespeare’s first grandchild, a baby girl named Elizabeth Hall.

Elizabeth was baptized at Holy Trinity Church in Stratford, where William Shakespeare was also baptized, married, and buried. Read more about Elizabeth Hall, and Shakespeare’s grandchildren.

William Shakespeare left Susanna Hall most of his property upon his death in 1616, after which she and John left Hall’s Croft to move into New Place, which had been Willian Shakespeare’s home. From New Place, Susanna oversaw the affairs of her mother, Anne Shakespeare.

This weekend, over 400 years ago, Anne Hathaway married William Shakespeare. This year, at last, Anne and her daughters Susanna and Judith were given their proper place in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.

In the late nineteenth century, Virginia Woolf’s father Leslie Stephen began work on the Dictionary of National Biography. Published quarterly between 1885 and 1900, the original DNB contained entries for 30,000 British subjects. The current version of the DNB, now the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, has expanded to over 60,000 entries, but still, fewer than 3% of those entries are women.

Under commissioning editor Anders Ingram, Paul Edmondson (Shakespeare Birthplace Trust) and I made three contributions to increasing the representation of women in the ODNB, with new entries on the women connected to William Shakespeare: his wife of 34 years Anne Hathaway, and daughters Susanna Shakespeare Hall and Judith Shakespeare Quiney.

The criteria for inclusion in the ODNB involves two components: individuals who were “hist

Shakespeare's Children

William and Anne Shakespeare had three children. Their first child was Susanna, born a mere six months after the wedding of her parents. She was christened on May 26, 1583, and twins arrived in January, 1585. They were baptized on February 2 of that year and named Hamnet and Judith, after two very close friends of William: the Stratford baker, Hamnet Sadler and his wife, Judith. Tragically, Hamnet Shakespeare died of unknown causes in August 1596, at the age of eleven. The events of his short life are unrecorded.

The Life of Susanna Shakespeare (Hall)

Wise to salvation was good Mistress Hall.
