Lydia Rosetta was born on 1 Dec 1873 at Westminster, Middlesex, England[1], and her birth was registered at St George Hanover Square[2][3]. She was the daughter of John Machell and Eliza Lawrence. Her middle name was her mother's mother's first name.

In 1881 she was living with her parents, John (a butcher aged 39) and Eliza (29), two half-siblings - William J (15) and Victoria A (11), and four siblings - Alice M (9), Emma L (5), both scholars, and John (3) and Florence N (1) - at 32 Regency Street, Westminster, London[4]. She was a scholar aged 7. In 1891 she was living with her parents, John (50) and Eliza (45), together with her half-brother William J (a butcher's shopman aged 15), five siblings - Alice M (a book keeper aged 19), Florence A (11), Rosetta E (9), John M (7) and Walter G (4) - and two servants at 137 and 139 South Lambeth Road, Lambeth, London[5]. She was employed in her father's butcher shop as a shop woman.

She married John (Johann) Martin Ludwig on 30 November 1896 at St Margaret, Westminister after the banns were published in early November at his Parish of St Mary, Newington[6][7]. He worked as a butcher for her father. They had four children, three of whom were born in London,
