EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic birth register entry from the Church of St. Mary the Virgin in Neston, Wirral, Merseyside, England, records the birth of Emy Lyon on March 26, 1761. Born into humble beginnings, Emy's life was far from ordinary. As she grew up, she would defy the conventions of her time and rise to become one of the most intriguing and enigmatic figures of the late 18th century. Emy Lyon, later known as Lady Emma Hamilton, was a British socialite, actress, and mistress to Lord Horatio Nelson, the legendary naval hero. Her unconventional lifestyle and scandalous relationships with powerful men made her a subject of fascination and controversy in high society. The meticulous records kept by the church register at Neston provide a rare glimpse into Emy's early life. Her entry, written in neat, flowing script, lists her parents' names - Edward Lyon and Anne Hill - and notes that she was baptized on April 2, 1761, just a few days after her birth. This precious piece of history offers a tantalizing insight into the life of a woman who would go on to defy the norms of her time and leave an indelible mark on history. From her humble beginnings in Neston to her scandalous liaisons with powerful men, Emy Hamilton's story is a testament to the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity and shape history in unexpected ways.
