Hi and welcome to the British-Genealogy forums
When you say that Francis Johnston(e)'s father is not recorded do you have the actual marriage certificate? Were the spaces for father's name and occupation left blank. If so this is a very good indication that he was illegitimate.
I see that Jane's last name has been recorded as Rilson on the marriage registration on FreeBMD

As Francis gives his birthplace as Muncaster Cumberland in the censuses this is a good possibility for his baptism and only the mother's name Jane Johnstone given.
Name: Francis Johnstone
Baptised 17 Nov 1814 at Muncaster, Cumberland
Mother - Jane Johnstone
Unless his mother sought help from the parish you may never be able to find his father.

A very, very warm welcome to Brit-gen
Find My Past has the baptism (transcribed) of Jane, daughter of Robert and Margaret Ritson, baptised Bridekirk Parish, 21 Oct 1821.
On the '51 Census Jane's PoB is Dearham (not far from Bridekirk), and there is also a child named Robert?"dyfal donc a dyr y garreg"
