As a child William would also have fun, he would play many games with his friends, many of which children still play today. Such as: blindman's bluff, hide-and-seek, and tag.
He had two sisters Anne and Joan. William also had three brothers Gilbert, Fichard, and Edmund. By the age of thirteen William had to quit going to school because his father needed him to work at their family business.
By the age of eighteen, William was married to Anne Hathaway. Anne was twenty-six years old; there was an eight-year difference between the two. In order to get married, he had to get permission from his mother and father, because at the time the marrying age was twenty-one or older.
William and Anne also got her parents blessing. Williams family and Anne's family had known each other for many years prior to the engagement. Anne was pregnant three months before the wedding. They both moved into Will's house on Henley Street. Six month's later they gave birth to their first child, and named her Susanna.
