Sarah was the daughter of Charles Croft (bpt Nov 6, 1825 in Lincolnshire, England d. Jun 2, 1896 in Osprey Township) and Elizabeth Radley (b. Jun 21, 1828 in Lincolnshire, England d. Apr 8, 1905 in Flesherton, Artemesia Township, Grey County, Ontario, Canada).

Charles and Elizabeth were married Dec 18 1845 in Croxby, Lincoln, England and came to Canada sometime between 1846-1849.They first settled in Pickering and in 1853 moved to Osprey Township, Grey County.
