Summary
John MacCue's ancestors emigrated to Australia.
John MacCue's grandfather came to Australia as a passenger, aged 47, and worked initially as a stonemason. Some of his family followed on a later voyage on which Mr MacCue's uncle, Arthur Robertson, worked his passage as a helmsman. He was instrumental in saving the ship in a great storm.
