I also noticed the "sojourner" on the marriage banns and presumed this meant that neither of them was from that parish.
Working out his father's name is not made easier by how George and Jane named their children - they don't appear to follow traditional naming patterns. Their first son was William (Jane's father was William) followed by a John and then a James.
I've seen the original baptism for George Bennet Odger and the father's name is definitely James, but then it may be the incorrect baptism?
