There is a public tree on Ancestry whose owner cites "certified copy of an entry of marriage" as the source for their marriage details:
9 Oct 1881 parish church, Salford. (Lancashire BMD says St Simon, Salford).
But they haven't posted up an image of the marriage record.

They have his parents as John Hill and Matilda Walton with this as the 1881 census entry:
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...53714039/facts

1881 census
53 Cheetwood Lane, Cheetham, Lancs
John Hill Head Mar 46 House Painter Lanc Manchester
Matilda Do Wife Do 47 Do Do
William Do Son Unm 19 Engraver Do Do
Elizabeth Do Daur Do 17 Do Do
George Do Son 15 Scholar Do Do.

but I wonder whether that is right, because the William on that census is an engraver and by 1891 yours is a coffee works labourer.

I think you do need the marriage cert to see father's details.
