The Lodger Shakespeare
Page 38
2 . The baptism dates are: Anne, 23 October 1608; Jane, 17 December 1609; Mary, 9 October 1614 (buried 1 May 1615); Hester, 30 November 1617 (died before 14 April 1620); Hester, 14 April 1620; Elizabeth, 21 September 1621. The date of Anne’s marriage (apparently not at St Giles) is unknown. Jane married on 2 September 1633, aged twenty-three, and Hester on 29 June 1640, aged twenty. Jane’s son, Francis Overing junior, baptized on 23 May 1636, is Stephen and Mary’s first recorded grandchild, but he died at the age of fifteen months.
3 . See Appendix 4; similar petitions can be found in Journal of the House of Lords 3 (1620-28). On the gold-thread monopoly see W. R. Scott, Joint Stock Companies (1910-12), 1.174-7; Knights 1962, 77, 229; Sidney Lee and Sean Kelsey, ‘Sir Giles Mompesson’ (ODNB 2004). According to Thomas Wilson, the monopolists developed a ‘new alchemistical way to make gold and silver lace with copper and other sophistical materials, to cozen and deceive the people; and so poisonous were the drugs that made up this deceitful composition that they rotted the hands and arms, and brought lameness upon those that wrought it’ (Life and Reign of James I, c. 1625, 155).
4 Stow 1908, 2.28, 361; John Taylor, Three Weeks from London to Hamburgh (1617), 1.
5 . Belott had probably died recently when his will (Appendix 4) was proved on 25 February 1647. The registers of St Sepulchre’s parish, of which Long Lane was part, are not extant.
6 . On the Blackfriars Gatehouse: see Part One, note 56. On Susanna and Ralph Smith (a Stratford hatter, and nephew of Shakespeare’s friend Hamnet Sadler) see EKC 2.12-13; the consistory court found in favour of Susanna, 15 July 1613, and her slanderer, John Lane, was excommunicated. On the Welcombe enclosures: EKC 2.141-52, and cf. Part One, note 2.
7 . On Thomas Quiney (son of Richard, with whom Shakespeare corresponded in 1598) see SDL 238-41. Judith died in 1662, and with the death eight years later of Shakespeare’s childless granddaughter, Elizabeth Bernard n’e Hall, the direct line of descent from Shakespeare was extinguished.
8 . Charles Severn, ed., Diary of the Rev. John Ward, 1648-79 (1839), 183. The typhoid theory: Honan 1998, 406-7.
9 . The speech is followed by an eighteen-line rhymed epilogue (‘I would now ask ye how ye like the play’, etc), but this is clearly by Fletcher.
