She was educated in Surrey and in Italy before returning home to England. In 1957, she married Peter Gibbons, a barrister, and the couple had five children. When the marriage ended after 17 years and her inheritance was lost through bankruptcy, Jill went to work as a guide for the British Museum. On her first trip to India in 1989, she met Lal Singh Yadav, a taxi driver ten years her junior, in Delhi. He was a widower and a peasant farmer from Rajasthan. In 1993, the couple were married. They lived in a mud-floored farmhouse without electricity, surrounded by Yadav's relatives. She wrote a memoir entitled Yadav: A Roadside Love Story, published in 2003.
