Can someone advise please..

Hi,
My g grandfather was Thomas Cubbon of Arbory b. ? married Margaret Clugston in Arbory 1858. My question is how can I verify his parents? In 1873 he was lost at sea with his eldest son Robert when the fishing boat they were on was hit by a schooner and there is a Monumental Inscription stating his age as 42yrs.
I know there are a couple of Thomas' born in Arbory who are close fits (date wise) can anyone tell me how to verify which Thomas he is? Or is there anyone who is linked to one of the families who might have an answer for me.

Thank you, Ann
