Early life

Personal life

Who Do You Think You Are? The genealogy project, published in March 2017, Who Do You Think You Are? Raworth's family tale was on BBC television. It was revealed that she descended from non-conformist ancestors who were members of the New Jerusalem Church. They lived in Birmingham during a time when religious riots destabilized the city in 1791, with people like her ancestors as the intended victims. William and Martha Mott, Raworth's ancestors, put their young family in danger in the aftermath of the riots. However, the parents had died of yellow fever within two years of arrival, and the children were returned to England. Raworth discovers in the program that she was not descended from noted piano maker Henry Isaac Mott as the family had expected, but not from his cousin, Samuel Mott, who was kicked out of the piano company and ended up taking his own life.
She found a long line of horticultural history dating back to the 1700s, beginning with her great-grandfather Edgar Cussons Crowder, who worked in Kew Gardens. According to further analysis, Abraham Crowder, her five-time great-grandfather, grew and sold pineapple plants in the 18th century, during a period when the fruit was a luxury luxury.
Despite collapsing two miles from the finish line, Raworth completed the London Marathon on April 17, 2011. She had completed all six World Marathon Majors by 2017 by then.
