The marriage certificate will tell you who Samuel's father was.  You can order the certificate from the GRO for £9.25p.

Marriages Jun 1856   
GARLAND    Mary Ann        Taunton    5c   672
SAUNDERS    Samuel        Taunton    5c   672    

This is the birth registration for their eldest daughter Elizabeth

There were two Mary Ann's on the marriage record so I looked on the GRO births to check the maiden name for Elizabeth's birth.

The second daughter named Helen on the 1861 census appears to have been registered as Ellen:-
