Caroline Derricott, was born October 1, 1843 at Oakengates, Shropshire, England. She was from a family of 12 children. Her father was Charles Derricott who was born in England in 1806.
Caroline was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when she was a young girl. Those who joined the Mormon church at that time were baptized at night because the people were so bitter against those who joined.
The family moved to Neuslain, Willinghall, England due to persecution.
She met her intended husband Richard Hoar, when she was about 18 years old. Richard was considering going to America to Zion so he got consent of Caroline's parents to go with them and they would be married in Zion. At this point in time it was not possible to marry anyone outside of your own class or title and so he would not have been able to marry Caroline in England.
