I think that is the correct on- this is sister Jane marrying:

Name John Fremly Brady
Spouse Jane Christie
Record Type Marriage
Event Date 2 Dec 1849
Parish St Mary Magdalene, Bermondsey
Borough Southwark
Father Name John Fremly Brady
Spouse Father William Christie<<<<<<<<Master mariner
Register Type Parish Register

So we just have to try and find the link between Jane Doyle and the Christie children!

1851 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription

Jane Doyle Head Widow Female 80 1771 Pauper None Merionethshire, Wales
Alexander Christie Grand Son Unmarried Male 22 1829 General Labourer Surrey, England

And sister Elizabeth's marriage:

Name: Elizabeth Christie
Spouse: Robert John Ray
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 1 Feb 1845
Parish: St Mary Magdalene, Bermondsey
Borough: Southwark
Father Name: William Christie<<<<<<<<<<<<master mariner
Spouse Father: Robert Ray
Register Type: Parish Register
--------------------------------

So marriages of his sisters confirm we have the correct Alexander in 1841 & 1851
