She married George Rumford, a Blacksmith, on 15 March 1841 at Gainsborough All Saints Parish Church; the witnesses were Christopher Lewis and Ann Richardson (possibly her mother)^[3].

Sortly after their marriage, at the time of the 1841 Census, the couple were living in Pellard House Yard in Gainsborough^[4].
