From his name plus being buried in Whitchurch I am guessing he was the son of Henry and Mary Ann, but I have not found his baptism.
Baptised Abt 1856 St. Peter’s Church, Peter Tavy, Devon, England - From PR entry (image on DFHS website, viewable by members, viewed 28 May 2016)
"WhenBaptized: [blank] No. 676., Child's Christian name: [Blank], Parents Name: Henry Francis Pengelly & Mary Anne Toop SPRY, abode: Sortridge, father's quality, trade or profession: Gent, ceremony performed by: Thomas Gibbons Rector"
The entry is recorded between baptisms on 10 Sep 1856 and 11 Feb 1857.
I wondered at first if the missing date and Christian name was to disguise the fact that the child was born 'too soon' after his parents marriage (he was clearly born less than nine months after the marriage, but might just have been a couple of weeks premature). However, the pages following this show the register was badly kept at this time, with lots of entries incomplete, and gaps left as though there were more to record - and this was never done.
Coming where it does I suspect it was the baptism of John Francis, rather than a later child of John and Mary.
