Her mother was the daughter of Ichabod Wright (1767-1862), of Mapperley Hall in Nottinghamshire. Ichabod Charles Wright (1795-1871) was an uncle. Her father was briefly the MP for Petersfield in 1832-33, served as Under-Secretary of State for War and the Colonies in 1834, was then a Poor Law Commissioner until 1841, and then Vice-Chancellor of the University of London for 20 years, from 1842 to 1862, and finally Clerk of the Parliaments from 1856 to 1875. Her uncle Charles Shaw-Lefevre (1794-1888) was Speaker of the House of Commons from 1839 to 1857 and then ennobled as Viscount Eversley. Her older (and only surviving) brother George Shaw-Lefevre (1831-1928) was Liberal MP for Reading from 1863 to 1885 and then for Bradford Central from 1886 to 1895.
