Horatio Nelson war Vater eines Kindes namens Horatia Nelson (* 1801).
Horatio Nelson war ein britischer Vizeadmiral, der am 29. September 1758 geboren wurde und am 21. Oktober 1805 verstarb. Er kam in Burnham Thorpe zur Welt und trat bereits mit zwölf Jahren der Royal Navy bei, wo sein Onkel seine frühe Karriere förderte. Trotz ständiger Seekrankheit absolvierte Nelson eine Arktis-Expedition und diente in Indien, bevor er 1777 seine Leutnantsprüfung ablegte. Nach ersten Kommandos wurde Nelson 1779 zum Kapitän befördert. Während seiner Karriere verlor er bei einem Angriff auf Calvi 1794 die Sehkraft auf dem rechten Auge und 1797 bei einem Angriff auf Santa Cruz seinen rechten Arm. Er errang bedeutende Siege in den Seeschlachten bei Kap St. Vincent 1797 und Abukir 1798, wofür er zum Baron ernannt wurde. In dieser Zeit begann seine Beziehung zu Lady Emma Hamilton, die ihm 1801 eine Tochter gebar. 1801 führte Nelson als Vizeadmiral die Schlacht von Kopenhagen an, in der er die dänische Flotte ausschaltete und dabei einen Befehl missachtete. 1803 übernahm er das Kommando über die Mittelmeerflotte auf der HMS "Victory". Am 21. Oktober 1805 stellte Nelson die vereinigte französische und spanische Flotte in der Schlacht von Trafalgar. Mit dem berühmten Flaggensignal "England erwartet, dass jeder Mann seine Pflicht erfüllt" führte er seine Schiffe zum vernichtenden Sieg. Während der Schlacht wurde Nelson von einer Kugel getroffen und starb, nachdem ihm der Triumph gemeldet worden war. Sein Leichnam wurde in einem Staatsbegräbnis in der St Paul’s Cathedral beigesetzt.
Horatio Nelson wurde in Burnham Thorpe, England, geboren.

And King George on the Banks of the Nile.' 20 October 1798

Portrait of unknown female formerly misattributed as Horatia Nelson. Royal Museums Greenwich have stated, "we no longer think the woman in white is Horatia. She has some likeness to Nelson, but Horatia did not have such a marked resemblance from other portraits of her in youth (we have a bust by Christopher Prosperi showing her as a child and an oil portrait of her in early teens)
Where this identification started is not clear: the provenance of the item stops with its exhibition in 1889 when in the hands of a Bond Street dealer and the only link with the Nelson-Ward family is that they had a copy of made, probably at that time and relying on his identification of it, not theirs. There is, so far, no evidence it was ever in Nelson-Ward family possession (or other branches of the Nelson family), which is the obvious place to have expected to find it, or at least information linking it to them - but there is none."
