Sarah Ann/Annie is daughter of John Stanier/Stanyer and Emma Davies. Her father was a potters printer who died in 1881. Sarah began working in pottery at young age to help her widowed mother support her 3 living siblings.

Sarah married William Bowers, August 2, 1885, St. Margaret Church, Newcastle Under Lyme, Staffordshire, England. William came to US in 1893 to work in Trenton potteries and live near his two sisters there.
