She appears on the 1851 census staying at 10 Cornwall Terrace in Marylebone, the home of her grandmother Margaret Terry. Also present on the night of the census were her six siblings and their mother, Margaret Clarke (née Terry).

In 1863 she married Francis Seymour George, a barrister-at-law, youngest son of Philip George of Bath, solicitor. The couple appear on the 1871 census living at Windsor Road, Bray, in Berkshire, with their three young sons.
