I highly recommend The Difference Engine, cowritten by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling, in which novel Lord Byron's daughter figures highly.
Quoth Amazon.com: "A collaborative novel from the premier cyberpunk authors, William Gibson and Bruce Sterling. Part detective story, part historical thriller, The Difference Engine takes us not forward but back, to an imagined 1885: the Industrial Revolution is in full and inexorable swing, powered by steam-driven, cybernetic engines. Charles Babbage perfects his Analytical Engine, and the computer age arrives a century ahead of its time."
What might have been.
That was... The Difference Engine by Gibson and Sterling.
Edit: Alright, could be wrong, since you mentioned a short story. "The Difference Engine" is a full-length novel.
