Her mother was Julia Kipping nee Du Val. They lived at Higher Broughton, on the outskirts of Manchester where James Stanley Kipping owned a small farm.

In 1884 she was married at Chorlton in Manchester to Ernest Henry Norbury, the son of James Craig and Susannah Anne Norbury of Withington in Manchester. James Craig Norbury was born in 1827 in Manchester, and was a master printer employing fourteen men and fourteen boys.

In 1891 the family were living at 41 Palatine Road, Withington. By 1901 they had moved to Downthorne, Pine Road, Didsbury in Manchester, and were still there in 1911.
