Nothing is known of Joan .
Shakespeare except for the fact that she was baptized in Stratford on September 15, and died shortly after due to the plague. Their second child, Margaret, was born in 1562 and was baptized on December 2. She .
died about one year later. William was the third child and the first son. The Shakespeare's fourth child, .
Gilbert, was christened on October 13, 1566. Records show that Gilbert survived the plague and reached adulthood. Gilbert seems to have had a long and successful career as a tradesman and local government, and he died in Stratford on February 3, 1612. In 1569, another child came into the lives of John and Mary Shakespeare, and was named after their first daughter, Joan. Joan Shakespeare died in 1646, and she lived to be seventy-seven years old -- outliving William and all her other siblings by decades. A fourth daughter came into the lives of John and Mary Shakespeare in 1571, and her name was Anne. Unfortunately, Anne died when she was only eight years old. Anne Shakespeare was buried on April 4, 1579. Richard Shakespeare was the fourth son of John and Mary, and he was probably named after his grandfather. He was baptized on March 11, 1574, and nothing else is known about him, except for the fact that he died, unmarried, and he was buried a year and a day after the burial of his brother Gilbert, February 4, 1613. Mary gave birth to one more child in 1580 to a baby boy, Edmund. Edmund was probably in honor of his Uncle Edmund Lambert. Edmund died in 1607 and was not yet thirty years old. He was buried on December 31 of that year. His funeral was costly and amazing, with tolling bells heard across the town. It's most likely that William planned the funeral for his younger brother, because William would have been the only Shakespeare wealthy enough to afford such and expensive tribute to Edmund.
Shakespeare probably began his education at the age of six or seven at the Stratford Grammar School, which is still standing only a short distance from his house on Henley Street and is in the care of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust.
