The name of William Shakespeare appears on the title pages of these poems; however, there is no signature of William Shakespeare. There are only six known signatures of Mr. Shakespeare and they are releated to his will. You also state that "a few years after his death a monument was erected in Stratford depicting Shakespeare as a writer sitting at his desk, pen in hand". This is incorrect. The original monument showed him with a sack of grain in his lap. The design was only modified to show a pen in hand many years later, I believe in the 1740s. You say that "there is evidence to suggest that Neville wrote many of the Sonnets". I have seen no such evidence and I don't believe any sich evidence exists. The sonnets in no way parallel the life or experience of Sir Henry Neville but are a close fit with Edward de Vere.
