WELBY (WILLIAM), bookseller in London, 1604-18; (1) The Greyhound, St. Paul's Churchyard, 1605-9; (2) The Swan, St. Paul's Churchyard, 1612-14. William Welby was admitted a freeman of the Company of Stationers on March 26th, 1604; took his first apprentice on June 25th following, and made his first book entry in the Registers on October 11th in the same year [Arber, ii. 280, 736; iii. 272]. On October 16th, 1609, the widow of Cuthbert Burby {- Elizabeth BURBY, Elizabeth (mar. TURNER) ‹ LBT 03306 › } assigned over to him her rights in thirty-eight copies which included Ben Jonson's Every man in his humlour, and several other works of a lighter character [Arber, iii. 421]. Welby dealt largely in theological literature and also published many books relating to the English Colonies in the Bermudas; Guiana and Virginia. On March 2nd, 1617/8, he assigned over all his copyrights to Thomas Snodham { SNODHAM, Thomas ( - 1625) ‹ LBT 07409 › } [Arber, iii. 621, 622].
