Let me be clear here: there are no portraits of any of the Chatterton family (that we know of).  So, poetic licence kicks in and insists that I use the above images to represent the family and put faces to the names. 

​

• Sarah is snipped from Henrietta Ward's painting of Chatterton in his lumber room. 

​​

• Thomas Chatterton senior, is snipped from Montaigne's painting of Chatterton asking for a cup to be painted with an angel and a trumpet to blow his name about. The image is of a man (a family member) offering the cup to Chatterton. 

​​

• Mary is more of a problem as she has not been included in any of the paintings relating to Chatterton. So I have used a portrait of the famous actress Ruth Chatterton (1892-1961).  After all, she pops up incessantly whenever I search online for anything related to Chatterton. I think it is fair to say that she is a 'True Chatterton', for who is to say that she is not distantly related to our Tom.  I wonder, did she ever imagine that she would be playing her final acting role 63 years after her death.

​

Chatterton also had a brother, Giles Malpas, who died very soon after birth, and a grandmother, who lived with the family. It is not known if the grandma was a paternal or maternal grandma, however, allowing for the fact that Sarah came from Chipping Sodbury, and estimating that her mother was born in 1711, she would be around 41 years of age in 1752, whereas her mother-in-law would already be living in Bristol and would be about 60, for these reasons I think it more likely that the grandma living in the Chatterton household would be from the paternal side.  Edward Bell in his Memoir of Chatterton for Skeat's The Works of Chatterton, 1871, p.xvii, states that grandma is Sarah's mother-in-law (how does he know?).
