Perhaps the marriage certificate information might help:
Father’s occupation; residence; witnesses.

Sorry, I see it has been posted - ‘Farmer’. So that doesn’t fit.  :-\

If he was a farmer, the family were not likely to be living in the town of Wrexham in 1841 so are probably /not listed.

Is there an address for Elizabeth on the marriage cert?  The Wrexham RD covered a large rural hinterland.

Elizabeth Ellis living at Beast Market

This matches Elizabeth Eddowes in the 1841 census.

Did Elizabeth sign the register herself?

I'm wondering whether, as it was a civil marriage, and she was perhaps not known to the registrar, the less familiar name, 'Eddowes' might have been misheard as 'Ellis'.

John and Elizabeth made their marks.
I too have wondered if there could have been a case of mishearing.
