You need the Marriage Cert of John/margaret to get Fathers names/occps's.

I can tell you a little about it from Parish Records though but no Fathers names/occp given;

Marriage;
29 December 1853, Kirkwell Church, Kirkwell, Orkney Isles
John FLETT of Kirkwell
Margaret NICHOLSON of Kirkwell
Witnesses Hugh NICHOLSON/James BAIKIE

1861 Census has John born c 1830, Firth so these may be a possibles for him;
John C FLETT
Baptised 05 February 1831, Firth Church, Firth, Parents JOHN/MARGARET
Nee CURSITOR
John FLETT, July 1830, Firth Church, to PETER/MARY nee GAUDIE
+ a little earlier;
John FLETT, 03 June 1828, Firth to JAMES/JEAN nee FIRTH
All info from FreeREG www.freereg.org.uk

As John/Margaret name Children Peter/Mary the second one would be my choice.
But the M/C is a must to confirm.
Will see what else I can find to try and match this up.
