Her Father's name will be on the marriage certificate.

Have you tracked her in any of the censuses?

There appear to be several women called Elizabeth Davies from Llanasa, but not Elizabeth Davis. Though not with father Thomas?
So you need the marriage certificate.

I would think that several of us have looked for her in 1851 and 1861 but cannot see her.
I cannot see anyone called Elizabeth Davis from Llanasa.
As I have said, I can see several people called Elizabeth Davies from Llanasa, but none have a Father Thomas.
If you get the marriage certificate then the names of the witnesses could help in identification, as could any address, occupation, etc.
