Mary Yarrow was the sixth of the eleven known children of William Yarrow and his wife Elizabeth Wright of Little Thetford, Cambridgeshire.
She married Owen Owen (an "Eating House" keeper) and the couple went to live at 53 Lower Thames Street, London where they had five children. The Eating House that the couple kept was across the road from the river, a busy area for barges which would be tied up at the wharfs at Lower Thames Street. This must have made their Eating House a very profitable one. However, London frequently suffered plagues of rats coming from overseas in the barges and it is possible that Owen Owen fell victim to this when he died in 1849 suffering from diarrhoea for 4 days.
Mary's brother, John Yarrow (back in Little Thetford) and her brother-in-law William Pavett, were noted as executors (along with Mary) in the will of her husband Owen.
