Buying one of his marriage certs would confirm his father's name and occupation

I was wondering if anyone could possible try and a christening record for a William Higgins as I am trying to find out his parents names.

William Higgins was born in Berkshire either in 1825 or 1826 in Berkshire. Both of his marriages were registered in Abingdon. I think his father was Thomas Higgins.

Thank you
