I wonder if this is James death:

Name: HUGHES  JAMES
NSW Reg No: 29649/1953
Father: WILLIAM
Mother: MARGARET
District: HAMILTON

I'm not sure that this is the James you are looking for: aged 61 in 1953?

The result you got, being clearly written, would be-

EVANS Elsie Marion
Father Edward John
Mother Marian
Reg 26941
Year 1984

The same result will be obtained regardless of whether you place the years with a range in the search box or the exact year from/to

Perhaps you tried to use a second given name as well.

I dont know what was going on as I did with just 1984 in the dates and it showed both names this time..

I dont think so as he was 61 years old. My james was born in 1910, so would have been 43 years old.
