So have made up a bit of a timeline with various bits of information that might be easier to read.
Have used initials for Margaret Farquhar & Emily Pearse as well as Arthur John

Local paper mentioning his death says he was a 'native of Tasmania".  Obviously the paper report depends on local knowledge and who knows who gave the information.

Gilgandra Weekly
Arthur John Hughes, 65 years of age, a native of Tasmania, and a farmer of Breelong, died at his residence at that place on Sunday last. He leaves a wife and three children to mourn their loss. The body was interred in the local cemetery.

And the Dubbo Dispatch and Wellington Independent give him a different number of children.
