His maternal grandfather was William Ellice. Among his family were his niece, Edith (who married the 7th Marquess of Londonderry), and nephew, Eric Chaplin, 2nd Viscount Chaplin.[3]

On 18 January 1877, Chaplin was married to Lady Guendolen Theresa Chetwynd-Talbot,[5] a daughter of Charles Chetwynd-Talbot, 19th Earl of Shrewsbury and Anna Theresa Cockerell (a granddaughter of architect Samuel Pepys Cockerell and grandniece of Sir Charles Cockerell, 1st Baronet).[6] Together, they were the parents of:[7]
- Muriel Theresa Chaplin (1877–1947), who died unmarried.[7]
- Sibell Evelyn Chaplin (1879–1960), who married Thomas Arthur Armstrong, a son of Maj. Arthur John Armstrong, in 1919.[8]
