He was born in County Down, Ireland, in 1851 & I suspect he immigrated to Australia in 1887. I understand he was a seaman. He and Mary had a daughter, Charlotte (Catherine) who was born in 1870 in Manchester. She married Frederick Denecker in Sydney in 1896 & they had 4 daughters. John died in Melbourne in 1932 & Catherine died in Perth (Western Australia) in 1934. Kevin Lehane
