About William Kempe

Notes

From https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Kempe

Sir Thomas Kempe (1517–1591) did indeed have a son named William;[2] however, the claim that this William Kempe was the actor cannot be correct, since he was buried at Wye church on 27 March 1597 (Honneyman, 125–9; Bannerman, 3; private information, A. Findlay) .
