It is interesting that they named the twins after neighbors -- Judith and Hamnet Sadler, a baker -- rather than family. Sadler was recorded as a witness on the 3-page will. The Sadlers had 14 children of their own, although 6 died in infancy. Sadler's business burned in 1595. Hamnet Shakspeare dies in 1596 and then the Sadler's named a son "William" in 1598.
