There is a marriage in the Stoke Damerel registration district in the second quarter of 1841 for a Dominick PONISE. One of the people with a matching reference number (vol. 9, page 521) is a Matilda JAMES.
Their marriage certificate should give the name and occupation of Dominick's father.
(I had a look at the scan of the GRO index to see if it really said PONISE. Unfortunately this is one of those pages that have been retyped, so it isn't possible to see what the original said.)
