Did you get Elizabeth's maiden name from one of their children's birth certs?

1841/51 shows first child was b Bedwellty 1838/39 so marriage could be in either county

Have you looked on freebmd for deaths for them?  Unfortunately no ages are shown between 1851-1861 and there are quite a few entries for both their names so it could be difficult to find the right entry
