Robert Humes m. Elfriede E Otto or Meyer in 1949, Durham North district.
You should purchase their marriage certificate. There could be several reasons why she appears under two surnames, one could be a previous married name (particularly if divorced), or just "aka".
At any rate, the marriage certificate should show her father's name.

- if you search on recordsearch you can see the immigration record for Robert, Elfreda, and Barbara (in 1962). This gives her birthdate, and her maiden name as Otto.
Looking at freebmd.rootsweb.com, the most likely birth for Robert in 1919 would make him the child of John W. Humes and Edith A nee Hubble. He appears to have been their only child. Edith A. Humes died in 1948 in Durham North, and John W may have remarried there in 1949, passing away in 1957.
