Ada Lovelace was born on December 10, 1815 in London, England. She is the daughter of the famous poet Lord Byron. Lord Byron was hoping that his wife, Lady Annabella Byron, would give birth to a boy, but was rather disappointed that the baby turned out to be a girl.

Ada’s original name was actually Augusta Ada Byron. Later, after she married, she became the Countess of Lovelace, so she is known as Ada Lovelace. Ada’s mother left Lord Byron in the same year Ada was born. He left England for good as a consequence of the rumors going around about why his wife left him. He died when Ada was only eight years old. That is an example of a tragedy in Ada’s life. Ada’s mother went to her parent’s house after she left with Ada, who was only a baby at the time.
