In 1897, she met Edward Adrian Wilson, at Caius House, Battersea, while he was conducting mission work in London. They married on 16 July 1901, three weeks before Edward left on the Antarctic "Discovery" Expedition; the sledging flag she sewed for him was, after his death, displayed in Gloucester Cathedral and is now in the collection of the Scott Polar Research Institute. The wedding was in Hilton, Huntingdonshire, where her father was vicar.
