Where was Shakespeare born?
Wm. Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in April 1564, the son of John Shakespeare, a successful glover and alderman from Snitterfield, and of Mary Arden, a daughter of the gentry. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakespeare Shakespeare’s precise birthdate is not known; he was baptized on 26 April 1564, and over time 23 April has become the accepted date of birth, in part because he also died on 23 April in 1616. http://who2.com/ask/williamshakespeare.
