The sentence is grammatically correct, but only in the sense that ‘He ate to the blue adjective’ and ‘Colourless green ideas sleep furiously’ are grammatically correct: the words fit into the right places (subject, verb, prepositional phrase, etc.) from the point of view of grammar, but the sentences don’t make any sense.
‘with’ can be used to indicate either a tool or someone who accompanies you, but neither of those interpretations really makes sense here — if John marries Mary, you don’t use tools to do so (least of all an English lady), nor would John and the English lady both together marry Mary.
You are trying to say ‘He married an English lady’ — that is, he got married to an English lady. Simply omit the preposition ‘with’.
Then you will have a sentence that is not only grammatically correct but actually makes sense.
