Marriage and Lost Years (dec 7, 1585 – oct 1, 1592)

Description:

Anne Hathaway found herself pregnant by Willaim and they married when she was three months ‘up the duff’. Anne was 26. Shakespeare just turned 18.
There are records of two more baptisms, but nothing at all for seven years, called the Lost Years. At some point he dumped his family in Stratford and moved to London. Eventually he became known as a playwright and actor. Some suggest he worked as a teacher, a butcher or lawyer’s clerk. A hundred years later his first biographer suggested that Shakespeare disappeared to London to escape punishment for deer poaching. Whatever, for these seven years we have nothing of Shakespeare.
