Hi Donna,
I tried to post this on the Bolton forum at Geneology.com but the database was playing up (yet again!).

There are no Bolton/Oughtred marriages registered in NSW BDM (Birth Death Marriage) records between 1907 and 1945, when the on-line marriage index ceases, but there is this....
1505/1934BOLTON JAMES T H, CARTWRIGHT JEAN E, (at) CHATSWOOD
... which seems to be the James T. H. Bolton you are after, given a "sounds like" similarity between Oughtred and Cartwright and the other details matching well.Chatswood is a suburb of Sydney on the North side of the Harbour.
NSW Marriage Certificates normally have details of both parties ages, birth location and parents names and their birth locations, plus father's occupation.
The NSW BDM on-line birth index ceases at 1905 and there is no record for a James Bolton between 1890 and 1905.
I had look around in the BDM records and found this marriage record which looks like a reasonable bet for James' parents.
8827/1906BOLTONTHOMAS H, SHORTMAY S, SYDNEY
The birth record for Thomas H. Bolton appears to be...
2718/1885BOLTONTHOMAS H, HENRY, JANEY, SYDNEY
I couldn't find anything that looked like a birth record for May S. Short.
I did find marriage record that would appear to be for the parents of Thomas H. Bolton.

The NSW BDM site is at:

You can find out how to order a copy of the marriage and birth certificates on that site.
Cheers,
