I would say it's the the second Hugh in both cases.If the pattern holds true for family naming, having a first born named James points to the Hugh listed with the larger family.Additionally, Hugh's daughter's names are represented in the larger family.This would invalidate the "John" listed on Hugh's death certificate, but this seems a good starting point.
In the second case, Hugh was a miner in 1880 with wife Mary and a recent child.
Thanks for the info Michael.
