Hi I have found a book which references your great uncle. Look in section called birth of an industry. https://www.heritagesouthholland.co.uk/2020/02/bulbs-in-britain/
I will add all other sections of the book over the next week. Please share more of Richard Wellband if you have it. Maybe photo?
He was an interesting man.

It was named after Richard Dawson Wellband a bulb grower of Spalding. In 1931 it was given an awarded of merit from the Bulb GrowersAssociation. It can still be found in a few Spalding gardens.

My great great uncle Richard Dawson Wellband developed the Dick Wellband daffodil and was a very well known horticulturist in Spalding.
I will do my best to find out more. Regards Geoff

Thanks for this interesting piece of information, Monica. A daffodil named after a Spaldonian!
