Find Ancestors

Have not been doing family history for over a year, so am not up to date!
I have a marriage reference for William French in 1851 Dec Q Medway 5 576.
He either married Emma Major, Eliz Ann Arlinge, Lydia Sturla?? or Ann Bowra.
I think that he married Emma Major.
There is a marriage locator or marriage finder, which I have not used for some time.
Can anyone please help me find which is the right lady for this marriage?
Many thanks
Jo

William was born ca 1828 in Rochester, Kent.
On the 1861 census he is at the Bakers Shop, 56 Upper Ann Street, Plumstead.
RG9/410 Folio 72 Page 22
In this 1861 census, Find my Past have him under Tomich, but on Ancestry, he is under French!
You have the right family
I am trying to locate him on 1851 census
Many thanks for your help

Thank you very much indeed for the confirmation of marriage. Hopefully I can find the actual certificate on City Ark, and go backwards and forwards etc.
Very much appreciated.
