Edmund Nelson never married after his wife's death. Horatio became especially close to his brother William, who later followed in his father's footsteps and became a priest. Horatio studied in two schools: elementary Downham Market and average in Norwich, studied Shakespeare and the fundamentals of Latin, but no inclination to learn.

In 1771, at the age of 12, he entered as a cabin boy on the ship of his uncle captain Maurice Sackling, a hero of the Seven years war.

The top of this policy was the Munich agreement (1938). It was assumed that the strengthened Germany, however, will remain under the control of the" great powers " and, above all, the UK.
