Does anyone recognise either of these two couples?

Madras corrections N/2/C/Vol. 6, fol. 97
1855 Nov. 16, Andrew Fruvall [?], 29, widower, 1st Class Dresser Hyd[erabad]
Contingent, Bolarum, [father] Anthony Fruvall [?], by license [to] Caroline
Crowe, 19 1/2, spinster, Bolarum, [father] William Crowe, witnesses: P.
Chamarett, R. Chamarett, D. McClosky, A. McClosky, [married by] J. Gorton,
Joint Chaplain of Secunderabad.

Madras corrections N/2/C/Vol. 6, fol. 97
1857 Feb. 9, John Hollingsworth, 23, bachelor, Fife[?] Major 5th [or 6th]
Regt. Hyd[erabad] Cont[ingent]. Bolarum, [father] Peter Hollingsworth, by
license, Sarah Bastion [or Bastian], 15, spinster, Bolarum, Witnesses: R.J.
Thoy, A. McClosky, S. Lee, [married by] J.D. Ostrehan, Jt. Chaplain.

The reason I ask is that they have ties with the families I am researching.
Caroline's sister Susan married Mark Adrian De Prazer. The Chamaretts were
friends of the De Prazers and Thoys. Dominick McClosky's daughter, Mary Ann,
married Robert Jehu Thoy.

I just happened upon these while in search of the corrected entry for a
family member. I am sorry that I seem to have missed recording Sarah's
father.
