I don't know if you already have her parents on the previous censuses?

1871 8 Allen's Court, St Philip and St Jacob, Bristol
John Edwards Head M 44 Plasterer Brecon
Sarah Edwards Wife M 38 Bristol St Philips
Emma Edwards Dau 14 Monmouthshire
Mary Ann Edwards Dau 12 Monmouthshire
Emilia Edwards Dau 10 Monmouthshire
Thomas Edwards Son 3 Monmouthshire
Elizabeth Edwards Dau 5 weeks Bristol St Philips

1861 Aberdare, Glamorgan
John Edwards Head Mar 35 Plasterer Brecon
Sarah Do Wife Mar 28 Bristol
Sarah J Do Dau 6 Glamorgan Aberdare
Emma Do Dau 4 Monmouthshire Rhymney
Mary A Do Dau 2 Glamorgan Aberdare

I was certain that Sarah was a second wife and he would be with the first one in 1861!! And I was wrong.

Presumably Sarah Denwiddy, widow age 69, mother-in-law, born Bristol, on the 1881 census, is Sarah's mother, so this could be them in 1841:
Water Street, St Paul, Bristol, Gloucestershire
James Denwiddy 30 Porter Yes
Sarah Do 25 Sempstress Yes
Sarah Do 8 Yes
Emma Do 6 Yes
James do 4 Yes

But I haven't managed to find John and Sarah's marriage yet.
