Born
Augusta Ada Byron on the 10 December 1815 in London to the family of notorious poet Lord Byron and mother;Anne Isabella Milbanke. Her father was one of the greats of poetry, but his personality was unstable. Her mother was highly intelligent, had been well-educated by private tutors, and was particularly enthusiastic about mathematics and the sciences.
Ada was only one month old when her father abandoned his wife and daughter, leaving Britain forever. He died in Greece when Ada was eight years old. Ada never knew him.
Ada’s mother, Lady Byron, seems to have had little or no affection for her daughter and had very little contact with her. The young girl was brought up by her maternal grandmother and servants. Her grandmother died when Ada was just seven years old, and Ada herself suffered long spells of poor health in both childhood and later.
