Faith's birth registration (Rye covers Brede):

Births Jun 1849 (>99%)
PORTER Faith Rye 7 489

The birth cert will give you Allice's maiden name.

i am almost certain its them in the 1851, because both parents have the same place of birth as 1861, faith died 1854 would that also have parents names on the cert

Heres the birth reg for Moses also under Rye
March Quarter 1860 Volume 2b page 11
Like Potty says a birth cert will give you both parents names.
