He was still an infant when his family moved to Charters Towers and he attended Charters Towers State School. At fourteen years of age he lost a leg in a mining accident and at nineteen he was Secretary of the Amalgamated Workers Association (soon to become the Australian Workers' Union), a position he held for fifteen years.[1] He was associated with various other miners' organisations in Charters Towers, including vice-president of the Australian Labor Federation and a trustee of The Worker, the Labour-associated Newspaper.[1] Political careerAt the 1912 state election, Wellington, for the Labor Party, won the seat of Charters Towers, beating the sitting Ministerial member Robert Williams. He held the seat until his death in 1939. He rarely spoke in Parliament but when he did it was usually about the mining industry and for improvement of the conditions of workers.[1] Personal lifeOn the 10th April 1917, Wellington married Violet Beatrice Annie Ruthenberg (died 1964)[2] and together had three sons and three daughters.[1] He died in office in Charters Towers in 1939[1] and was buried in the Lynd Highway Cemetery.[3] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite web|title=Former Members|publisher=Parliament of Queensland|year=2015| url=http://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/members/former/bio?id=923722305|accessdate= 8 March 2016}} {{s-start}}{{s-par|au-qld}}{{s-bef|before= Wynn Williams}}{{s-ttl |title= Member for Charters Towers|years=1915–1939}}{{s-aft|after=Arthur Jones}}{{s-end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Wellington, William John}}2. ^[https://www.qld.gov.au/law/births-deaths-marriages-and-divorces/family-history-research/ Family history research] — Queensland Government births, deaths, marriages, and divorces.
