Where does his father come from in 1881?

Where does his mother come from in 1871?

It's just possible that the info was confused .. by one of the enumerators.

Have you found them in any other census?

Researching:
London: Faber, Haysey, Spicer ...

I think you might need to get Henry's birth cert. to find Ann's maiden name.
