Haven't found anything to do with those witnesses, but Elizabeth's birthplace on the 1871 census looks like Coed Farm, Llanover Upper, and on the 1851 census there is a James Edwards at Coad Farm
James Edwards Head Mar 52 Farmer of 100 Acres Lanover Monmouthshire
Rachel Do Wife Mar 40(?) Llanwenarth Do
William Do Son U 16 Haulier Lanover Do
Susan Do Daur 11 Farmer's Daur at home Do Do
Mary Do Daur 5 Scholar Do Do
James Do Son 8 Scholar Do Do
Leah Do Daur 2 Do Do
HO107; Piece: 2447; Folio: 192; Page: 3
No Elizabeth there, but it looks hopeful because Elizabeth's oldest daughter on the 1871 is called Rachel.

Reason: thought his surname was mistranscribed for some reason
