If you are talking about Edward Hammond Hargraves, his parents were John Edward Hargraves and Elizabeth Hargraves.
James Tom, together with John Lister, is one of the first but uncredited discoverers of payable gold in Australia.Edward Hargraves is generally regarded as the first to officially discover gold in Australia. Hargraves enlisted the assistance of John Lister and James Tom, men who had already found gold in the region. Lister and Tom led Hargraves directly to where gold was found, at Summerhill Creek, at a site which Hargraves named "Ophir".Hargraves has been credited with the discovery ever since, even though, by rights, credit should go to Lister. An enquiry in 1887 proved that John Hardmann Lister and James Tom were the first one to find gold in Australia.
Edward Hargraves is officially credited with stating the Goldrush in Australia, but it was not he who did all the hard work. John Lister, William Tom and James Tom were the real labourers. However, they used the new "cradle" or "rocker" which Hargraves introduced from California, and it was Hargraves who used his knowledge of geology to suggest where to start digging.

Edward Hargraves was assisted by John Lister, to who, the real credit should go for finding payable gold in Australia. Alister, in turn, was assisted by the Tom brothers, William and James.
