A coupl of mistakes you have made here, because this is a Gloucestershire related family. Monmouth registration district covers the North end of the Forest of Dean, So the marriage probably took place in Gloucestershire an easy mistake to make.

The other mistake is to take for granted that your findings on the civil registration indexes are correct. you are probably right with Caleb Aston being and unusual name, but there again they may not have married each other and she also may be a widow.

Until you purchase the marriage certificate you cant be sure. it would also help when asking other people to find someone for you having the fathers name from the certificate, because there again they could be following your mistake.

I have gone through the 1851 census twice for this family at Langstone and they are not there, which is strange because Mary was baptised on the 6 April 1851 and the 1851 census was taken on 31 March only 6 days before.

I expect you are trying to find the birthplace of Elizabeth, my suggestion would be to purchase the birth certificate for Mary so you have the Mothers maiden name, then find the marriage which must be around 1851 or just before. then where ever they married may give you some idea of where they were in 1851.

Regarding Mary Watkins the 1851 census says she was born Langstone so she must have been born after 31 March. This is all of a tight squeeze.

There is always the possibilty they are missed from the Langstone census. Come back to me if you have any other info. I have the 1851 census for nearly every county in the area.

On the 1851 census David Jones aged 28 a cordwainer born Panteg was living with his mother Elizabeth 68 born Newport and down as married, sisters Catherine 35 and Elizabeth 31 and Catherine illegitimate son John aged 5.

Catherine married William Davies {see your 1861 census for David Jones}

On the I.G.I there is a baptism of a David Jones to a David Jones & Elizabeth Morgans that took place in april 1821 at either Trevethin Rehobeth Chapel or Pontypool Welsh Calvanist Chapel

I have the marriages for Monmouthshire and there is a marriage of David Morgan of Usk marrying Elizabeth Morgan of Gwehelog at usk 9 May 1805

If Elizabeth Jones is still married in 1851 and her hsubands name is David then he may be the David Jones in Abergavenny workhouse aged 71 born Llanwrtyd Breconshire who was down as a married man.

I have the 1841 census for Brecon st Johns showing the family of David & Ann Prosser, if you want it you will have to send me an email.

David Prosser married Ann Lewis at St Johns Brecon 25.10.1807

On the 1841 census living with David & Ann Prosser is an 85 yr old Edward Lewis who may be her father as they did have a son Edward, unfortunately David Prosser the bulder is not with them. he is in Newport if he married in 1840.
