Father listed on Marriage Record is Henry Howarth Bury. However, can't find matching birth or baptismal record.

Most likely match for baptism is Dionysius Bury, born
14 September 1815 in Blackburn. Baptised 19 Oct 1823
Haslingden, Lancashire, England - mother Mary Bury - spinster.

Most likely match with a father named Henry would be son of Henry Berry and Grace Sharples of Blackburn - but no record of such a son can be found .
