message: The summary box at the start of the article gives the cause of death as liver failure, whereas the text of the article gives amoebic dysentery, probably picked up in her years in Naples.  While the latter condition can occasionally give rise to liver abscesses, liver failure (cirrhosis) is a common outcome of chronic excessive alcohol intake.  In his book <I>More Mere Mortals</I> (2006), Dr Jim Leavesley says Emma "hit the bottle in earnest" at the end in Calais, pointing out that this followed recurrent attacks of jaundice in 1814.  While he concedes that the jaundice may have been due to gallstones, he considers it was more "probably related to her alcohol intake."
By this time she had been out of Naples for 15 years.  Liver failure appears much the more likely candidate. Richard Lugg (talk) 19:32, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Three living in the house. 

message: The Lyon's home in Ness was for many years thought to be Swan Cottage, which in fact is a good sized Georgian house, far too grand for a blacksmith on a low wage. The Lyon family lived in a cottage on the Neston Road. In the past it was known as 'The Steps' because access to the front door was via stone steps hewn from red sandstone on which the cottage is built. Looking at the cottage today it can be seen that there were originally three cottages and not two, and now known as Smiths Cottages. The Lyon family home, where Emma (Amy) was born, is the left hand cottage (now number 2). The font at St Mary and St Helen Church, Neston, where she was baptised in 1765, is still in use today. 86.173.96.245 (talk) 12:41, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Emma's birth-place still exists 

message: Lady Hamilton's first illegitimate daughter, Emma Carew, born 1782, died on 26 March 1856 and buried two days later in the Evangelical Cemetery of Porta A' Pinti, Firenzi - called the English Cemetery on the outskirts of Florence. She had a fatal attack of asthma. The burial register wrongly states her age as 70. Unmarked grave, number 595.

message: This article states: Emma Hamilton and Horatio Nelson were by now the two most famous Britons in the world. They were not only in love with each other, but admired each other to the point of adulation. They were, so to speak, also in love with both their own fame, and that of their lover.  These comments are subjective - how is the writer confident there were not other better known Britons internationally?  If the reputation is a matter of record by any writer or writers then it would be helpful to have a citation.  I have raised a citation need at the end of the last sentence (which concludes the paragraph from which these are extracted).Cloptonson (talk) 17:43, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Style 

message: The article describes the Parthenopean Republic in an unnecessarily disparaging way. Nelson's involvement in the brutal repression of the republic was heavily criticized in England. It would be preferable if this criticism were mentioned in the article so as to also allow the reader a more critical assessment of the role of Lady Hamilton. 46.141.114.89 (talk) 19:50, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
