Sarah was born in Attleborough and baptised in Norwich on 19 April 1846. She was the daughter of John and Elizabeth and grew up in Attleborough, where her father worked as an agricultural labourer.

The family lived at 9 Norfolk Buildings, Cambridge (1871), 94 Norfolk Street (1881), 36 Broad Street (1891) and 27 James Street (at least 1901 onwards). Sarah died at home ‘after a long and painful illness’ and her funeral was held on 26 February.
