I have put the North Cowton Welbanks from 1400-1600 into a tree, to make it possible to navigate easily from one to another, but this is very speculative; there isn't much information about their exact relationships.

Newspaper announcements of 1786 record his death of a fever while canvassing for the post of Coroner for Middlesex, leaving four small children. I haven't found definitive evidence who his father was. He completed articles in 1760 with Christopher Welbank the Elder of Hatton Garden and his address is also recorded as Hatton Garden. Christopher Welbank the Elder is established to be Christopher of Mount Pleasant 1720-93. Christopher Welbank the Younger appears to be a fairly close relative, as they are living at the same address. He has been provisionally identified as his nephew. The Welbanks of Northallerton were shoemakers descended from the second son of George Welbank 1628-1668, a yeoman farmer of North Cowton, Yorks. (The parish church where births etc were recorded was in South Cowton, a vanished village destroyed around 1490, but the Welbanks lived in North Cowton). There are records of Welbank landowners in North Cowton going back to 1444, although the exact family tree can't be traced. The earliest occurrence of the surname is as John de Welbank in 1405. They can be linked to the Aldborough Welbanks and speculatively to the Stockton Welbanks. There are unrelated trees in New Malton, Yorks, in Whitby and in Manchester.
