Have you tried https://www.freereg.org.uk/ ? Many of the available digital records have been transcribed on to that.

It’s always possible that the couple were married by the Registrar or in a non conformist chapel rather than CoE.

What names were you looking for? Perhaps more eyes can spot them.

St Nicholas, Strood - Most recent register for marriages 1889-1898. They do list Banns 1934-1940 but the images aren't available.

St Mary, Strood - Marriages 1932-1946 with a note that entries after 1940 aren't digitalised.

St Francis, Strood - earliest registers held start in 1941.

I've a suspicion that they decided on a blanket 100 year on-line closure rather than various ones depending on the 'event'. They may be available at the Archives if you or someone else can visit. Ask Shirley, sweetly :-D :-D
