    • Note: 1804; testified in sensational trial Dighton v Watts involving his future brother-in-law Godfrey's wife. Mrs Godfrey Hirst and her sister Mrs Dighton were in the habit of scandalously going to theatre alone, and had met two soldiers and eloped to Ripon with them. Mr Dighton sued Mr Watts for alienation of affections, asking for damages of £5000, but the defendant's lawyer argued that Mrs Dighton already had a poor reputation so Mr Watts had not been the one to cause damage to her husband. "I understand they [Mrs Godfrey Hirst and Mrs Dighton] are now following a life of direful infamy" Numerous witnesses testify to Mrs Dighton's and Mrs Hirst's scandalous ways. William Welbank esq testified in the trial on behalf of Mr Dighton, who he said had always shown affectionate regard to his wife. The jury awarded damages of £1,100. The trial was written up in Sporting Magazine: or, Monthly Calendar of the transactions of the Turf, the Chase, and Every Other Diversion Interesting to the Man of Pleasure, Enterprize, and Spirit, (Volume 24, Rogerson & Tuxford, 1804) so probably was widely read about with great fascination. John Gough Nichols describes them as "the unfortunate Hirst family" and says they have lost all pretensions to respectability by mixing with plebian blood and low persons. Mary Anne also had a brother Francis who inherited the Golden Lion Inn and partnered with a "low person" and had eight illegitimate children with her before eventually being persuaded to marry her in his demented final years.

However, this doesn't correspond to the death of any of William Welbank's sisters. Only Jane was unmarried at her death and she died in 1852. Evidence that William Welbank, draper of York, was a different man?

Francis Hirst was the landlord of the Golden Lion in Northallerton. Another brother Henry was a solicitor in Northallerton, Jonathan was in business in Hull, Edwin was a farmer. (the Topographer and Genealogist Vol 1, John Gough Nichols, 1846, which says that Francis had eight illegitimate children by a "low person" and brought the family into disrepute).

(She may be referring to William's sister Jane who was also known as Mrs Welbank).
