I have found a public tree on Ancestry which has a small married-in twig with minimal details.
The parents of the man in question - Henry Pillinger Mable, c1842 Oxford - are named but with no dates or places of birth. I can find no trace of a birth or baptism for Henry. His mother's name doesn't "fit" with what I know of her marriage, and Henry's middle name, Pillinger, would, if the mother's name is correct, be his aunt's married surname!
Before I contact the tree owner, I am trying to "gen up" on Australian certification as it appears the only way the tree owner could have known Henry's parents' names was from the Australian marriage or death certificate. I have found Henry's 1876 marriage on the Queensland index, but can't find anywhere on the site which tells me whether both parents' names of each party would have been noted at marriage.
Does anyone know please?
