Biography

Little biographical information is available about Clacy. What is known indicates that her life was less “proper” than it appeared in her most well-known work. Clacy Von Sturmer was one of 6 children of clergyman Frederick Sturmer and Mary Norris.[1] In 1852, she traveled to Australia with her eldest brother to seek their fortunes in the gold fields of Victoria. Just two months after arriving in Melbourne, Clacy returned to England by ship without her brother and gave birth to her daughter Ellen Louise Clacy on board ship during the return journey.[1]

After her return from Australia, Clacy began writing under the pseudonym "Cycla."[1] In 1854, she married Charles Berry Clacy, a merchant's clerk and mining engineer and brother of the architect, John Berry Clacy. She described herself as a widow in 1871 and may have been abandoned by her husband, and she was said to support herself by writing articles for newspapers.[1]
