In the 1881 Canadian Census he is recorded as having been born in the USA, while his death certificate indicates Leeds, England. An immigrantion record shows a John Lupton of the right age arriving in the US in 1865. These records it seems to indicate he may have came first to US, then went to Canada and then back to Chicago. He was naturalized in 1896.
