We really do need more details before we can try to help you.

Was John Worthington born before 1864? If so, there will be no birth certificate and you'll have to search for church records. If 1864 or later you can search the civil registration index-

English census records should give you an idea of his birthdate and age on death certificate might also help. Marriage certificate should list father's name and occupation.

Civil registration of births started in 1864, registration of Catholic marriages 1864 and non-Catholic marriages 1845. Before these dates you need to know the family's religion and where they lived (parish if not actual townland) not just the county or 'Ireland' to see if any church records for the family might exist.
