I am trying to find out more information regarding Harry Strickland and his parents
I know he was born 1866, On 1871 census he is living with his grandmother (aged 5) Elizabeth Winterburn in Town Street, Farsley. On 1881 census it is the same details as above (aged 15). On 1891 census he is living with his aunt, Sarah Winterburn, aged 25. In 1896 he marries Mary Hannah Walker (July-Sept Qtr). No mention of his parents. Could someone help please?

In 1896 he marries Mary Hannah Walker (July-Sept Qtr). No mention of his parents.
Was this his second marriage? I see that he had an 8 yr old daughter Annie in the 1901 census.
If he is the same Harry Strickland who married Annie Scurrah in Leeds on 20 June 1891, his father was named as Edward Strickland, teacher of music.

Have you looked at the family in 1911? We cannot give information from that census on here but this person (from the free index) may be of interest:
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XWJF-KXM
You may want to have a look at whether she is the same person as Elizabeth Winterburn b abt 1845 Farsley who is with mother Elizabeth Winterburn and sister Sarah Winterburn in 1861: RG9/3345/95/21.
The family was in Calverley in 1851. Head of the family was Robert Winterburn, 43, grocer. HO107/2313/86/34.

Subsequent likely marriage for Elizabeth:
Marriage, Jun qtr 1891
Samuel Goodchild
Elizabeth Strickland
on the same page, Hull 9d 417.
The couple were together as early as 1871, but may not have been free to marry if (for example) Ned Strickland was still alive.

It looks likely that Harry was not baptised as an infant, but as a Baptist in adulthood.
(From the membership register of Farsley Rehoboth Baptists)
Harry Strickland was baptised and received into the Church Mar 7th 1897.
Died after a long illness Nov 13th 1938.
+ Death registration: Harry Strickland aged 72, North Bierley Dec qtr 1938.
