The Folk from the Wind Wound Isle > Linking Robertson - McCue - Mathieson
page 299
There are a number of links between these families spanning several generations. The following might help to sort this out. I hope I’ve got this right! Where possible I have explained the links when they appear in the genealogical charts of descendants.
Jane Mathieson Robertson, the wife of William Adie Robertson, is the Great Aunt of Archie Mathieson who married Marjorie McCue. Majorie is the granddaughter of William’s sister, Agnes Robertson McCue.
Robina (Bean) McCue married Henry Le Couteur, who was the brother of Annie Le Couteur Mathieson. Annie was the mother of Marjorie McCue Mathieson’s husband, Archie. One of Henry’s brothers was Archie Le Couteur.
Archie Mathieson’s aunt, Margaret Mathieson, married George Croft who was a cousin of the Croft brothers who married two of Margaret Robertson Chiselett’s daughters. Margaret Robertson Chiselett was a sister of Agnes McCue and William Adie Robertson.
Barbara McCue Crouch’s husband, Edwin Crouch, was the cousin of Tot Collins who married Barbara’s brother, Jack McCue.
William Crouch, the son of Barbara McCue Crouch, married Bessie Le Couteur. Bessie was the daughter of Archie Le Couteur. Archie’s brother, Henry Le Couteur, married Bean McCue. This means that two cousins (Marjorie McCue Mathieson and William Crouch) married two Le Couteur cousins (Archie Mathieson and Bessie Le Couteur).
Robina McCue Le Couteur’s son, Stuart Le Couteur, married Mary Mathieson. Mary is the daughter of Ainger Vincent Mathieson and Ethel Williams of Nullawarre and a first cousin of Archie Mathieson who married Marjorie McCue.
Mr and Mrs Archibald Mathieson Snr are mentioned in Robert Robertson’s 'The Port Campbell Revival’, written in 1937.
