The March family consisted of nine siblings, all children of George Henry March and his wife Elizabeth Blenkin, and all but one became artists and sculptors. All nine siblings were born in Stoneferry, a suburb of Kingston upon Hull, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.

By 1901, the family had moved to Battersea, London, where their father was employed as a builder's clerk.

Three of the March children became sculptors, Sydney, Elsie, and Vernon. The other five artists were Edward, Percival, Frederick, Dudley, and Walter. The ninth sibling was a sister, Eva. Their parents died in 1904.

By 1911, all nine siblings, as yet unmarried, were living together in the 17-room house "Goddendene" in Farnborough, Kent, England. Only two of the March siblings ever married, and between them produced three children. Eva married Charles Francis Newman in 1916. They had a daughter, Heather. Sydney's brother Frederick married Agnes Annie Gow in 1926. They had two children, Elizabeth and Cecil.
