Lovelace was buried next to the father she never knew

Despite not knowing Lord Byron, Lovelace had a lifelong obsession with him and his writings. She was buried in the Byron family vault inside the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in the small English village of Hucknall per her request following her passing. Her father's coffin was positioned next to her own, who had also passed away at the age of 36. Lady Byron moved in to care for her ill daughter by the end of the summer. Ada's medicines were hidden by Lady Byron in a sick plot to have her daughter suffer excruciating pain in order to make her change her wicked ways. Ada allegedly confessed to her husband as she was purportedly getting close to death. Unknown is what she revealed, but it upset William so much that he abandoned her on her deathbed.

Ada ultimately passed away in November 1852 after months of excruciating torment and severe bloodletting by her doctors. Despite the fact that Ada hardly knew her father and was the same age as him when he passed away, it was obvious that she was his daughter. To her mother's shock, she asked to be buried in Nottinghamshire close to him after a lifetime apart. Ada's Notes on the Analytical Engine were not well received during her lifetime despite their groundbreaking content. She was only mentioned as a footnote in Lord Byron's biography for more than a century. However, Ada's work was swiftly reassessed after it was published again in 1953. A programming language was given her name in 1979. Today she is an idol for many women working in mathematics, science and engineering around the world – finally receiving the recognition that she long deserved.
