Help needed on England Marriages microfilm
I'm trying to locate the father listed on the marriage record for Thomas Merry and Margaret Hodson, 17 April 1810.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NV2V-8Q2
I've accessed the digital microfilm images, linked on the record, through a family history centre, but the link directs to a collection which starts from 1813 to 1856. Where am I going wrong?

There are 2 films in that set. One runs up to 1812, while the 2nd starts at 1813. I have sometimes found that the record I need is in an adjacent film. Possibly an indexing error or a waypointing error.

According to
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:N6H4-Z2Q
James Merry married Ann Gratria in 1778.
That record may be useful to you. I'm not at an FHC or affiliate today to view the record on FS, but it is on FMP: https://www.findmypast.com/transcript?id=GBPRS%2FSTAFF%2FMAR%2F145952%2F1

Thank you so much @Áine Ni Donnghaile. Where did you find James Merry in relation to Thomas? I looked on the parish register you linked to and couldn't see James mentioned.

The baptism of Thomas indicates his father is James. Marriages that early rarely contain the names of parents.
