During the years between 1607 and 1613 the extra rooms in the New Place were rented out until Shakespeare returned. The family who had previously rented it moved out. This left Shakespeare with a lot of land and no male heirs. Even Susanne in her new marriage, failed to produce a son. She did, however have a little girl called Elizabeth.

In 1616 it was announced that Judith was to be married. After the wedding a problem arose and her husband was put on trial and found guilty. Shakespeare then made a new will that left Judith money and Susanne all the property and most of his wealth. The will stippulated that Anne have the right to any room in the New Place that she wanted. It was signed on the 25 of March 1616 and less than a month later he was dead. Shakespeare died on the 23rd of April , the day of his 52nd birthday. He was burried 2 days later at Holy Trinity Church and only a stone slab was layed with not even his name written on it. Only this message appears at his grave--

The church register recorded his death and that of Anne, nine years later. A monument was layed to honour him on top of his grave, with the consent of his family. Susanne had no more children. Judith eventually had three sons that all died young, so Shakey had no decendants close to his blood line. Even though this occured, Shakey's spirit still lives on in all his plays and poetry.
