With the bride's name given as Florence Isabel rather than simply Isabel, it is hard to be certain this is the right marriage, not having seen the marriage cert (which should give extra evidence in the form of Isabel's father's name and occupation) and with Isabel dying so soon, and so never being with Alfred in a census where the birth place should have helped.
However, not only is there no other sign of Isabel, marriage or death, as a Gillingham after the 1891 census, but in addition her name was only given as Isabel when her death was registered (and the age is exactly right in the death registration).
In addition (and importantly) there was no birth registration of a Florence Isabel Gillingham, nor is there any sign of a Gillingham marrying a Florence Isabel who could have been remarrying as a widow.
Changing Christian names does seem to have been popular at this time - at least when people were away from home and family and so could get away with it!
