Lily Style is the direct descendant of famed lovers Admiral Lord Nelson and Emma Hamilton, as well as George Matcham, who's granddaughter, Tori Blanckley, married Nelson and Emma’s grandson, William Ward.

 

As a keen genealogist, Lily's interest is in piecing together the real human stories lying behind dry facts. She writes regularly for Nelson-related publications and is the creator and webmaster of Emma Hamilton Society, whose purpose is to provide  positive and deserved press to Dame Emma Hamilton (her correct title being Dame because she was awarded the Maltese Cross).
