This could be the same person. A researcher at the Alberta Genealogical Society found John Wellinton Lee, Joseph Wellington, Wellington and Wellington John all being the same person. His immigration records in 1879 have him listed as Irish (she didn't sent me that information). The 1901 Census have him immigrating in 1879. I would love to have your information.
