Sarah Child
She was daughter of Gilbert Jodrell of Ankerwyke, Buckinghamshire. She married to Robert Child (Wells MP), and the mother of Sarah Fane, Countess of Westmorland.
Sarah Child (d. 1793) was a British banker.
On the death of her spouse in 1782, she inherited the position of nominal head of the major bank Child & Co., which was not a common position for a woman in Great Britain in the 18th-century.
After her death, her position in the bank was inherited by her granddaughter Sarah Villiers, Countess of Jersey.
