In 1846, William Taylor Copeland acquired the company outright and he and four generations of his descendants controlled the company until 1966. In 1833, William Taylor Copeland, William Copeland’s son, acquired the business in partnership with a Thomas Garrett and the factory’s productions from this period were marked ‘Copeland and Garrett’. (As an aside, Josiah III did go to Australia and rose up through the ranks of Tasmanian government employment to become the Principal Superintendent of Convicts, a Magistrate, Coroner and politician). However, he was not the heir to the business and did not want to be there as he wanted to emigrate to Hobart, Australia. From then until 1833, the company was managed by Josiah III, a grandson of Josiah I. William Copeland died in 1826 and Josiah Spode II died in 1828.
