I think we can assume that the references to 'Ruabon' mean 'Ruabon
Parish' (probably Cefn Mawr) and not Ruabon itself.
Any info would be greatly appreciated. Would anyone know where I
could search for the marriage index of Eliza and Charles?
This a *possibility*:
1858: Charles POWELL married Eliza HARRISON at St Giles, Wrexham
