Robert Bearman, "Parish register entry recording Anne Shakespeare's baptism," Shakespeare Documented, https://doi.org/10.37078/456.

Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, DR243/1: Baptismal register, folio 10 recto. See Shakespeare Documentedhttps://doi.org/10.37078/456.

Anne, John and Mary Shakespeare’s sixth child, was baptized on September 28, 1571, according to the Holy Trinity Church parish register. Next to the entry, an “X” added by a later hand highlights its significance. She was baptized two-and-a-half years after Joan, the same interval between her baptism and her elder brother Gilbert’s in October 1566.

Anne is otherwise undocumented except for her burial seven and a half years later, on April 4, 1579.
