The 1881 census shows her as a servant in Folkestone.
In 1882 she married Thomas Burch Pilcher, who was a Riding Master, and later a private coachman for Lady Sturt, both in Folkestone.
Thomas was often away from home for extended periods of time as Lady Sturt had a number of houses, and often made extended visits to friends and relations.
They had 13 children, of whom 10 were still alive in 1911 (1911 census).
Sometime before 1901 she became blind from post-partum complications, but continued to run the household, and had several more children.
