Genealogical Oddities (LV): Hampshire Gent in C18th Malaga Spain

In 1776, "Don Guillermo Ybuelin" of "Southampton in the county of Hampshire, England" son of Don "Mateo Ybuelin" and Doña "Ysabel Sivers" married, at the Sagrario chapel of Málaga city cathedral, Josefa Mandly, a native of Málaga, daughter of Don Mathias Mandly and Doña Isabel Rosa de Rueda. The witness was one Guillermo Lovejoy.

I wonder if someone familiar with Hampshire genealogies may be able to connect this man with his English family. He seems to have been the progenitor of the large Huelin family existing still today in Málaga and elsewhere, and as long ago as 1968 I find a Spanish researcher referring to him as William Welling, but have no way of knowing if this is actually the correct English form of his name.

Genealogical Oddities (XLIV): An American Sailor's C19th Spanish Burial

Juan Huldrich was buried in Málaga on 27 October 1836. Aged 25, unmarried, he was stated to be a native of Boston, and described as 'Anglo Americano', so presumably the city in question is that in Massachusetts, not Lincolnshire. He was said to have been a sailor on the frigate 'General' and to have died of a bilious attack. Huldrich seems to be an infrequent surname so I wonder if this was actually a John Hildreth?
