| Note |
follower of the Rev William Turner, dissenter and Unitarian. Recorded borrowing 20 works from his Hanover Square Library in Newcastle:
Amongst 13 of the most popular borrowings from the Hanover Square Library, 7 were books of sermons, one example of the continuing network of communication and ideas between ministerial and lay Rational Dissenters.146 On 32 occasions Margaret Hogg borrowed sermons, discourses and tracts. Of John Selkirk?s 36 borrowings, 15 were sermons. Amongst 26 works which John Taylor borrowed were 13 sermons. John Murray borrowed ten sermons amongst 14 works, Miss Wellbank ten amongst 20 works. Although by no means unique to Rational Dissenters, amongst Rational Dissenters enthusiastic reading of sermons, particularly of the wide range present in Hanover Square Library, encouraged individual consideration of a range of theological viewpoints.

- Mary Dawson was Christopher's cousin once removed, the granddaughter of his father's sister Ann. She was 24 and he was 45. She was the only living child of her father and due to inherit quite a lot of property. Her father was a witness to the wedding, so presumably approved of the groom.
Her father, grandfather and brother had all been called Edward Dawson; her brother had died in childhood. Her first son was Edward Dawson Welbank and the name continued down the next two generations.
