Robert Thomas married Catherine Jones

[amberly]

I'm really stuck trying to sort out where & when the above couple were married.  I can't find them on the 1841 census but on the 1851 Catherine is already widowed, she's 45 & says she was b in Pentrevoelas,  She has 3 children living with her, David aged 16 b Bersham [I found I believe his bap on 17 Mar 1833 in Bersham saying son of Robert Thomas & Catherine Jones] then Jane who is my 2 x gt grandmother aged 14 b Brymbo [her bap says 6 Mar 1836 Wrexham to Robert & Catherine Thomas] then Elizabeth aged 2 b Broughton & they were living in Broughton.   Since Catherine was already widowed in 1851 & Elizabeth was 2 he must have died sometime between 1849 & 1851 I guess??  I found a burial of a Robert Thomas aged 72 on 10 Dec 1849 in Brymbo which seems to fit the bill but he seems to have been much older than Catherine like 30 years??  This may well have been so but I can't find a birth for anyone in 1777 which seems to fit the bill.   She could have been his 2nd or 3rd wife I suppose??   I'm not sure where he was born either since I can never find him on a census.
Any suggestions please as to where to look now?
Thanks to anyone who could help.

Thanks Roger but how do I look up on the GRO index & what does it stand for???

WRJones a valuable piece of info knowing that the 1841 census for the Wrexham area is missing, thanks for that info, no wonder I've had so much trouble searching.

Thanks to you both,
Amberly

Roger, or someone, could you please explain to me how to use these GRO files?   
What do I Google to get into them?
Thanks so much, Amberly
