Encyclopedic style[edit]

Hi, many thanks for creating the article as part of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Women's History/Ada Lovelace Day 2012.

I notice that the style uses the word "would" and associated constructs and to me this sounds affected and unencyclopedic. For example, "The siblings would become interested in natural history through the passion of their father, Bob Stawell Ball" could be written "The siblings became interested in natural history". Similarly "In 1818 Anne would move to Youghal" could be written "In 1818 Ball moved to Youghal."

Thanks, that sounds fine to me.
