This looks to be the marriage

NICHOLLS Edith M Powell Merthyr T. 11a 1106
Powell Llewellyn F C Nicholls Merthyr T. 11a 1106
>>>>SHERMAN Esther A Jones Merthyr T. 11a 1106


If you order a copy of the marriage cert from www.gro.gov.uk this will show his fathers name and occupation. You may then be able to find Benjamin in the 1901 Wales census. The cert will cost £7.
