She married, brickmaker, Robert Cox on October 21st 1865 in Dunedin.

They had 2 sons, one who appears to have died in infancy, before Robert died in 1878.

When she signed the suffrage petition Sarah was living with her son in Andersons Bay – there is no sign of William in the records after their marriage.

Sarah died on September 29th 1908 – she is buried with Robert in the Southern Cemetery.
