Do you have a copy of the death record? I don't know about English records but Scottish ones have parents details on death records so I would have expected to find them there. If you don't have it, then I would suggest you order it to see if any clues there. If you've already got that then I'm not sure what you can do. Nothing on the marriage record about parents presumably?

English death certificates are useless from the point of view of naming parents unfortunately and the marriage will probably have been pre 1837 so unless the witnesses are family members that is not much help either.    Morton parish registers are on the IGI but it is always worth looking at the original to see if a record has been missed.  Have you done that?
