Looking for parents of Arthur John Hughes. .

[Neale1961]

Margaret Farquhar was born in 1852 Tasmania, father - Robert.
I wonder if there has been confusion between her and Arthur John in death notice?

[giblet]

This notice for their marriage pacifically says Hobart Town.

HUGHES—FARQUHAR.—On the 19th of December, by the Rev. G. James, at his residence, No. 3., Blythe Terrace, Kent-street, Sydney, A. J. Hughes to Margaret Farquhar, both late of Hobart Town.

Hi
I have also been looking for Arthur John’s parents.
I have copies of both of his marriage certificates & his death certificate. The death certificate has his father as Robert but I am not taken that as a definite as the information is given by someone other than himself.
Arthur is my 2x great grandfather.

Is there any information on his marriage certificates that may provide some clues? Presumably father's name is not given, but are there witness names for example?

Can you please list all the information on his marriage certificates.

Can you please list all the information on his death certificate.
