He is with his wife and children in 1861 but then Sophia is a widow in 1871 and by 1876 she is in NZ and marrying Thomas Blowers.

You need the marriage certificate for John and Sophia to get his father's name and occupation.

This site   http://www.jerseyheritage.org/research-centre
says "For certificates pertaining to life events (Birth/Baptism, Marriage, Death/Burial) prior to 1842 we can make copies of transcriptions taken from original registers. For certificates of life events taking place after 1842 you will need to contact the Superintendent Registrar’s Office. You can view certificates or obtain copies from their office in the Royal Square. The Archive holds indexes to the post 1842 certificates in the help desk area should you wish to discover the relevant volume and page number before you visit the Registrar’s Office.

Could this be his army record because on the 1861 he is a pensioner of some sort. (I can't read the first couple of words.

Hi Someone in Anc has put a correction to the surname in 1871 census.
Walters rather than Walter.

You will need to obtain his marriage certificate as this will give his father's name and occupation. There are a couple of possibilities int he Plymouth area ca 1826, but further information is needed to determine which one was him.
