Sidney may not have been dead, just as a father who is not given as
deceased may have been.

If father and son had a falling out for some reason, Henry may not
have wanted his father present at his marriage so gave his father as
deceased to save any awkward questions.

Henry may have had reason to genuinely believe his father was dead or
the registrar may have assumed that to be the case for whatever reason.
