Arthur's 1861 census entry with wife Catherine in Aberdeenshire gives his occupation as a tailor like Hugh.

Robert’s father, George Alexander was apparently a Lieutenant in the Invernesshire Militia and I wondered whether there might be a connection between George A and Margaret’s father.

Are these details from Robert's death registration (father's name and occupation)?

There is this possible 1851 census entry which could be him www.freecen.org.uk/search_records/5903ddbde9379091b10bd93f/george-alexander-1851-morayshire-elgin-1780-?locale=en
