A DNA match from another researcher seems to indicate James Sissons and Ann as the parents of Charles, birth 1831. Without a marriage certificate difficult to prove. There could be a family link further back. Would a death certificate provide enough detail of parents?

[KGarrad]

A Death Certificate from England/Wales will not provide ANY information re parents or family

The only name mentioned, apart from the deceased, is the informant.
And possibly a husband's name.

His first born child was Charles so I would have thought this baptism more likely:

St Saviour Southwark

4 August 1833

Charles born 27 May 1833 son of Charles Sissons, wire drawer, and Charlotte, abode St Georges

There is a burial  for Charles Sissons, 47, of Belvedere Place (same street as that 1851 census) on 14 MAy 1835 at St George's

Charlotte Sissons, widow, married Joseph Murrell, widower at St Mary Newington on 5 June 1837

Would a death certificate provide enough detail of parents?

You might find this website useful in showing what is and is not on English and Welsh certs.

Possibly James and Charles (the one that died in 1835 aged 47 ) were brothers.

James Sissons was also a wire drawer.  This looks like the family in 1841, but there is no son Charles present:

HO107/1085/2 Folio 21, page 33;  Harrow Street, St George's Southwark

James Sissons  60 wire drawer (The surname is transcribed on Ancestry as Jessam.)
Ann  54
James 37 wire drawer
Letty 40


Address and surname confirmed by marriage record of daughter Matilda Sissons in 1840.
