William Shakespeare had two grandmothers.

His grandfather on his mother's side was Robert Arden. Robert married Mary Webb, and one of their children was Mary Arden, William Shakespeare's mother.

It would seem that Shakespeare's grandparents on his father's side were Richard Shakespeare and Abigail Webb. Richard and Abigal were the parents of John Shakespeare, William Shakespeare's father.

Shakespeare's grandmothers, Mary Webb and Abigail Webb, were sisters. Therefore, William Shakespeare's parents, John and Mary, were cousins.
