His brother,
William Jupp the elder (1734–1788), architect, born in London, was likewise apprenticed to their father. He was made free of the Carpenters' Company in 1753, and became a warden in 1781. He exhibited country house designs at the Society of Artists in 1763 and 1764, but his principal works were in the City of London. He rebuilt the London tavern, Bishopsgate Street Within (dem. 1876), after a fire in 1765, and was employed in making plans for the Carpenters' Company's Stratford estate (1769), and improvements to their London Wall property (1777 and c.1784). About 1780 he designed the entrance hall and staircase of Carpenters' Hall, London Wall (dem. 1876). He married Mary Webb (c.1745–1809) in 1765; they had five sons and five daughters. He died at his house in St Clement, Eastcheap, London, on 16 November 1788.
The elder brother of William Jupp the younger,,
Richard Webb Jupp (1767–1852), lawyer was born on 29 July 1767 in the parish of St Nicholas Olave. He was elected clerk to the Carpenters' Company in 1798, several years after his
marriage to Sarah (d. 1844), daughter of the Revd Morgan Jones DD, with whom he had six sons and five daughters.
When he died, at home at Carpenters' Hall, London Wall, London, on 26 August 1852, he was the senior member of the corporation of London.
Richard Webb Jupp's youngest son, Edward Basil Jupp (1812–1877), lawyer and antiquary, was born on 1 January 1812 at Carpenters' Hall. A partner in his father's law firm, in 1843 he was associated with him as joint clerk to the Carpenters' Company, succeeding him on his death. A fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, he compiled a history of the Carpenters' Company (1848). He also collected and grangerized catalogues of English art exhibitions, publishing descriptive lists of his collections in 1866 and 1871. His notable collection of the work of Thomas Bewick was sold at Christies in February 1878.
He married on 10 May 1845 Eliza Margaret, daughter of Joseph Kay, architect, with whom he had five sons and three daughters; she survived him. He died at 4 The Paragon, Blackheath, London, on 30 May 1877 after a few days' illness.
