NOTE: It appears that Ephraim Chatterley was sometimes referred to as "Stephen Chatterley"; it is not certain if this was his first or a middle name or this is just a mistake in Ward 'The Borough of Stoke-upon-Trent'.

Dorothy Chatterley was Ephraim Chatterley's daughter.
She married Christopher Charles Whitehead and had two sons James and Charles (Ephriam's nephews) and so when Ephraim and Charles Chatterley gave up the business they passed it onto their nephews.

Ephraim's daughter Mary Ann married William Bishop, their son was Frederick Bishop who became Chief Bailiff for Hanley and brought The Mount at Penkhull from Josiah Spode II.
