ODNB ‘Joseph Welch (1750–1805), compiler of biographical reference
works, was for forty years assistant to William Ginger, bookseller to
Westminster School. He prepared a list of scholars, which for many years
he sold in manuscript. In 1788, encouraged by the success of Pote's
Registrum regale of Eton College (1774), he printed it under the [above]
title ... The work, which was the first printed register of the school, was
republished in 1852, under the editorship of Charles Bagot Phillimore,
with the addition of the queen's scholars from 1663, and of copious
biographical notes. The work is generally known as Alumni
Westmonasterienses.’
