The marriage certificate should give the name of his father as a starting point, and witness names could also be helpful  :)
Hinchliffe - Huddersfield Wiltshire
Burroughs - Arlingham Glos
Pick - Frocester Glos

Do you have the death printouts?

They are supposed to record the names of the parents of the deceased (if the informant knew who they were).

As an aside, DIA told me recently that you can record these details for yourself in advance these days.

How do I acquire the marriage certificate of William and Emma Butterworth(nee Barron)?

I have William Butterworths Death Certificate which states that his mother was Emma Barron.. also states that his Spouse's name was Emma Barron.. not very helpful.
No father recorded.

"As an aside, DIA told me recently that you can record these details for yourself in advance these days."
What do you mean by this sorry?

You can buy the marriage certificate from the GRO, or the parish records for West Yorkshire are on Anc*. 

This could be William's father, or possibly a brother (5th entry on left): https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/21602/page/3015
and

If its the same family then the Butterworth's appear to have been in the wool manufacturing business for quite some time, as there's also this from 1805:
