In England Sara was married to a man called Clarke, and had a son, Dennison, b 1845. She was presumably widowed, and came out to SA in 1846.
In 1847 she married Thomas Victor Booth, a cabinet maker, who bought a block on Greenhill Road, Burnside. Here they raised their two sons, Frederick and Victor Booth (another son, Richard, apparently died), and Sara's son Dennison Clarke. She led "a busy life as a housewife and village dressmaker". Before the Burnside Christian Church was built in 1864, the congregation met in Mrs Booth's livingroom, in her home at the top of High Street. Her son Dennison later headed a family group of builders, working with his father-in-law, James England, and his two half-brothers, Victor and Frederick Booth, possibly building many of the early bluestone houses in the Burnside area. Her later years were spent at Corryton, near Magill, where she died at the age of 82 of "senile decay".
