If you get the death certificate for James Farquhar it should give you both the name of his wife, and those of his parents.

From the familysearch website I found James Farquhar born 16 July 1836 in the parish of Aberdour,Aberdeenshire..Parents James Farquhar & Isabel Cummine. Isabel also had another illegitimate son,Andrew Riddel Forrest or Cumminge born 14 January 1840. I found them in the 1841 census in the village of New Aberdour,with their maternal grandparents:
James Cummine 56,blacksmith,Isabel Cummine,50,Isabel Cummine,25,James Farquhar,3.Andrew Forrest,1.
In 1851 James & Andrew are living with their uncle in High Street,New Aberdour.Andrew Riddel is a widower,49,a tailor,Andrew a scholar,James an apprentice tailor.Also in the household is an Elizabeth Cummine a house servant,31,single.All are born in Aberdour parish.

My ancestors include Farquhar families of Portsoy.  I haven't come across the names you have mentioned but maybe there is a connection.  The person with most info on Farquhar's of Portsoy is GDub71.  I will let him know about your search.

Looking at the IGI I found the birth for James to be 16th July 1837 Aberdour, Aberdeen. (typo flst?)
It was recorded as "James Farquhar or Cummine" which tells you that he too was illegitimate.

You might find some entry in the kirk sessions as Isabella had 2 illegitimate children. The fact that both the fathers acknowledged them is good start!
