  Gender	Male
  Other Names	McCarthy - see note
  On the use of McArthur and McCarthy: "McArthur" appears on Hugh's birth registration in Sydney (1855) "McCarthy" appears on the wedding documents (1875), for both Hugh and father Alexander - this is not a one-off clerical error because... "McCarthy" is used for registration of the births of Hugh's children (1875-1898) in Morpeth and Armidale and for death records for those who died 1900 and earlier "McArthur" is used thereafter I have used McArthur for consistency except for those who were born and died McCarthy. I have searched for birth records in Scotland for both Alexander McArthur and Alexander McCarthy without any success. (Lots of Alexander McCarthys born in Ireland!) See the document in the family file listing birth registrations.

  	McCarthy is used as the surname for both the groom and his father - wedding in the residence of Thomas May by the Rev E.D. Madgwick (Wesleyan)
  		Parental permission to marry - Hugh McCarthy Note use of McCarthy by both father and son Parental permission was required because Hugh was under 21 years of age
  		Marriage Certificate for Hugh McCarthy (McArthur) and Gloriana Way Note the use of McCarthy by both son and father
  Notes	McArthur was used by Hugh's father on arrival in Sydney in 1841 but uses McCarthy when son Hugh is married in Morpeth in 1875. McCarthy then appears to have been used until the mid 1890s, when McArthur begins to be used.

  Documents		Registrations of births indicating the use of the name McCarthy Adelaide E[lizabeth] is a daughter of Hugh and Glorianna - perhaps "Glorianna" was misread as "Laura A"?
