well you learn something new everyday. Just had an e-mail explaining a bit about the page numbers which may help work out which church a marriage took place in.
When they created the GRO index of marriages, Anglican churches were indexed first and theoretically in alphabetical order though not always so. These were followed by non-conformist and then register office marriages.
So getting the first marriage in April and the last marriage in June for this quarter in each Medway RD parish I could look up their GRO page number and make a list of page ranges.
Brompton, Old 713 to 722
Chatham St John Devine 733 to 740
Gillingham St Mark 723 to 723
Gillingham St Mary 743 to 755
Luton Christ Church 757 to 760
Rochester St Margaret 761 to 767
Rochester St Peter 775 to 776
So your marriage with a GRO 795 page number, looks like it will be non-conformist or register office
