Suckling Maurice — Captain

Generated portrait. Not a historical photograph.

Overview

The uncle-entry is already on Nelson Horatio — Biography Overview. Horatio Nelson entered the Navy at twelve through his maternal uncle, Captain Maurice Suckling.¹

The Uncle-Entry

This note covers that uncle-entry only. A later posting, a ship, and a career stay on RESEARCH_QUEUE.

The same Nelson note already records that he was born 29 September 1758 at Burnham Thorpe — Norfolk Village to a Norfolk clergyman, and that his mother died when he was nine. Those sentences stay there. Burnham Thorpe — Norfolk Village left this uncle-entry on the Nelson note; this page does not reopen the village.²
