Hi, I am looking for information on Thomas George Cue. I believe that the town Cue in Western Australia was named after him during the gold rush days. I have found citations with this name stating that he was born in Casterton Victoria in 1850 and died in Vancouver Canada in 1920. He may have been married to Eugenie Spencer Wills. If anyone has any information it would be much appreciated.

Thankyou for providing this information on Thomas Cue who the town of Cue in Western Australia was named after. I still cannot find evidence of who his actual parents would have been. I have found some information to say they maybe George Cue and Maria Collins. Maria Collins was born in Ireland and Thomas often refers to his nationality as being Irish in some citations. However some mention that he was born in Casterton Victoria Australia. This confuses me as I dont know which is correct. Your assistance would be appreciated.
Regards Lynda

Hi, Perhaps - Even if Thomas CUE was born in Australia - he would be an Australian Citizen - But - he may be referring to his Ethnic Origin - which would be Irish - through his mother Maria COLLINS.
Cheers, Stella
