I can't find him on any other passenger lists to or from the US. I wonder whether they had another Uncle John and they're confusing the two?

Zoe, I'm not saying this is the case here, but I've lost count of the number of my relatives who say they remember ancestor X or Y when they died decades before my relative was born! Usually they remember someone else of the same name from a more recent generation. (like Kite suggested)
