I agree with Greyghost- just because the father's occupation was listed does not automatically mean he was living.

The actual wording on the certificate just requires:
'Father's name and surname' and 'Rank or profession of Father'.

If you're looking at the marriage certificate where Richard Champion is listed as Father and a Tailor - it is possible that the question was asked in such a way that he wasn't described as "deceased" to the official who completed the certificate. This happens more often than you might think.

I doubt they'll be on the census(es) having married in 1845

Until and unless someone finds out when they were born, finding further info may prove difficult
