So to start, here are all the available records for the Henley in Arden village Shakespeare family through 1812 (with a few marriages for those baptized before then).
Parish records of Beudesert and
Wootton Wawen, Warwickshire
.Based on the records we have at least four Williams in
Henley in Arden.
- William who had a child who died in 1714. Possibly the William with a son Thomas born in 1733 (I can’t find the record now). He is connected somehow to Rowington families. This William may be a father of the John who died in 1713. He would be born sometime before 1693.
- William who was married to an Eleanor and had two children 1768-1773 (son Joseph and unreadable) William would be born no later than 1747.
- William who was from Claverdon, married to Elizabeth with children between 1773-1778. This William signs with an X (William, John, and Sarah) William would be born no later than 1752.
- William who married Mary, he may be the William who married Mary Hilcox from Wootton Wawen who was from Preston Bagot. This William and Mary’s descendants are non conformists. (Joseph, Thomas, Elizabeth, George, Benjamin and Nathan). William would be born no later than 1755. This William signs his name without an e.
Additionally we have the following residents prior to 1758
John Shakespeare who marries Eleanor in nearby Tanworth in Arden would appear to be the same
as John Shakespeare in the baptisms records with wife Eleanor.[i]
Based on his marriage date, he was born before 1743. No burial has been found
for a John Shakespeare in Warwickshire between the years of 1783-1800. The Eleanor who died in 1799 can be the
daughter of John or Sarah, or his wife.
Sarah Shakespeare the mother of Eleanor and Thomas
Shakespeare. She was born no later than 1743. If she is the Sarah who was 83 at
her death (there are no other Sarah’s in the records) then she was born in
1728.
Margaret Shakespeare who married Edward Skinner. I can find
no baptisms for a Margaret for this time frame nor a marriage of anyone to a
Margaret. Based on parish records, they appear to move to Temple Grafton.
Note, the Shakespeares of both parishes are duplicated as
residents of Henley in Arden. Due to water damage, the Wootton Wawen register
is difficult to read and is missing entries
