Sarah Grand was born Frances Elizabeth Bellenden Clarke in Rosebank House, Donaghadee, County Down, Northern Ireland, to English parents. She was sent to the Royal Naval School, Twickenham, but was expelled for organizing groups in support of Josephine Butler's protests against the Contagious Diseases Act. In 1870, she married widowed Army surgeon David Chambers McFall, who was 23 years her senior, and they had one child together. The family lived in various locations including the Far East, Norwich, and Warrington, Lancashire, before Grand and her husband became sexually estranged upon their return to England.
