On 3 July 1795 Sarah married George Cayley, whom her father had tutored] at All Saints, Edmonton, Middlesex. The licence for their marriage was dated 1 July 1795. (The marriage date is widely given as 9 July 1895, as in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography entry for her husband, Clay's expanded edition of Dugdale's Visitation of Yorkshire and thePeerage.com but the image of the parish register on ancestry shows 3 July. J Laurence Pritchard's biography of her husband has the correct date. They had the following children:
Ann, born in 1796
Isabella, born in 1797
Emma, born in about 1800 (age 23 at her 1823 marriage
Sarah Philadelphia, born in about 1802 (age 24 in her January 1827 marriage licence)
Digby, born in 1807
George, buried at Brompton by Sawdon, Yorkshire on 2 March 1811.
Thomas, buried at Brompton by Sawdon, Yorkshire on 1 April 1811.
Catherine, born in 1811 or 1812 (said to be 29 in the 1841 census
Mary Agnes, born in 1815 or 1816 (said to be 35 in the 1851 census
Sarah was apparently prone to uncontrolled outbursts of temper, but her husband seems to have doted on her. For her 80th birthday he gave her a loving poem of his own composition. Their daughter Catherine described Sir George Cayley as Sarah's "slave through life."
Sarah had intellectual interests. In 1841 she bought a copy of a 1669 edition of Emblemata Ethico Politica by Jacobus Bornitius. This work was written in Latin, so presumably Sarah was relatively fluent in that language. The copy was noteworthy because in the binding was a manuscript of a work on virginity by the Anglo-Saxon abbot Aldhelm.
