Is there no mention of her father on their marriage certificate or a census maybe?

No fathers name would be mentioned on a census record unless they happened to be living in the same household at the time.

Best chance really is finding a baptism record that fits her name, birthplace and age.

Leeds General Cemetery registers give birthplace and parents names, for Mary Roebuck in 1881 it says born Mirfield, but parents just given as "Place"

A possibility perhaps?

Strange that someone from Batley should say they were born in Mirfield.

Looking at the image of the PR of the baptism in Mirfield of the Mary mentioned previously, the surname (of mother Hannah) is spelt Ritchardson, as per ancestry transcription.
The record on FamilySearch came from the BT.
