Wedgwood was the daughter and the eldest of the six children of Hensleigh Wedgwood and his wife Fanny Mackintosh, the daughter of Sir James Mackintosh. She was a great-granddaughter of the potter Josiah Wedgwood. She was a close friend of Robert Browning.

She was a friend of Mrs Gaskell, who was related to her.
