I am told my Great Great Grandmother was born on Nelson's ship Victory in 1805. How can I verify this? Could someone please point me in the right direction.

Hi there, my great grandmother 5 times removed from me gave birth on board ship with Lord Nelson on it and was asked to become Godfather to her newborn baby and said yes. This story has been in my family for along time and there is supposed to be documents to prove this but where I don't know. I am at the moment researching all my grandmothers and trying to read Nelsons letters for any clue to this. Unfortunately not everything had to be noted down back around the 1770's/1780's. Try the British Museum they seem to have alot on Nelson. Good luck.
