Wickham: James family mystery

[suecolville]

Hello
I am looking for help in locating the birth of my gt gt grandfather James Wickham b.abt 1831, and  died in Leith Edinburgh 1881
.
He was married to Agnes Auchterlonie (Lonie)..children George, Alexander, Grace, Agnes and James

The 1861 census record shows that he was a 31 yr old mason journeyman married and living in South Leith and it said he was born in Fishponds, Bristol, Somerset.

His death certificate states that he died on Oct 4th 1881 in Leith and his parents were William Wickham, Mason Journeyman and Isabella _________

I cannot find his parents anywhere
thank you

What is the mother’s maiden name on the marriage certificate?
