English Lands, Letters and Kings, vol. 2: From Elizabeth to Anne

by Donald Grant Mitchell

This, if it be indeed our William who is named, would serve to show residence in “S^t Helen’s Parish”—in which is the venerable Crosby Hall.

[21] Edmond Shakespeare was buried in St. Saviour’s in 1607.

[22] I append table from French’s Shakespeareana Genealogica:

W^m Shakespeare, b. Apr. 23, 1564; m. Anne Hathaway, b. 1556, dau. of Rich^d and Joan Hathaway, of Shottery. | +----------------------+----------+-------------------+ | | | Susanna, b. May, Hamnet, twin with Judith, bapt. Feb. 1583, d. July 2, Judith, bapt. Feb. 2, 2, 1585, d. 1661; 1649; m. Jno. Hall, 1585, d. s. p. 1596. m. Thos Quiney. physician, b. 1575. | | | | +--------------------+--------------+----+ | | | | | Shakespeare Quiney, Rich^d. Quiney, Thos. Quiney. Elizabeth Hall, b. 1616. b. 1618. b. 1619. b. 1608; d. s. p. 1669.

Elizabeth Hall was twice married: 1st to Thomas Nash—2d to Jno. Bernard (knighted by Charles II.), and had no issue by either marriage.

Of the Quiney children, above named, the 1st (Shakespeare), d. in infancy; the 2d (Richard Quiney), d. without issue, in 1638; the 3d (Thomas Quiney), died the same year, 1638—also without issue.

[23] The extreme limits of his life and career would probably lie between 1575 and 1635; Strahan’s Biographical Dictionary of the last century makes no mention of him; nor does the Biographie Universelle of as early date.

[24] Works of John Webster; with some account of the Author, and Notes, by Rev. A. Dyce (original edition, 1830).

[25] Ford, b. about 1586, and d. 1640. Works edited by Gifford; revised, with Dyce’s notes, 1869.
