Where was Shakespeare born?

Wm. Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in April 1564, the son of John Shakespeare, a successful glover and alderman from Snitterfield, and of Mary Arden, a daughter of the gentry. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakespeare Shakespeare's precise birthdate is not known; he was baptized on 26 April 1564, and over time 23 April has become the accepted date of birth, in part because he also died on 23 April in 1616. http://who2.com/ask/williamshakespeare.html Jul 11 06, 7:21 PM

All we know is that he was baptised in Stratford-on-Avon parish church on 26 April 1564. Nothing in this register entry points to his birth date, which may have been days or weeks previous. It doesn't prove that he was born in Stratford either, just that this was the church he was taken to be baptised. He might have been born in Snitterfield, a village just outside Stratford.
