The Earl bears the subsidiary titles of Viscount Ednam, of Ednam in the County of Roxburgh (1860), in the Peerage of the UK and Baron Ward, of Birmingham in the County of Warwick (1644), in the Peerage of England.
However, his descendants, the Suttons, were often called by the name of Dudley; and from John Dudley of Atherington, Sussex, a younger son of John Sutton, the 5th baron, the earls of Warwick and the earl of Leicester of the Dudley family are descended.
In 1763Ward was created Viscount Dudley, and in April 1823 his grandson, John William Ward (1781-1833), became the 4th viscount.
