Who was Emanuel Brecknell's first wife?

[Carrick]

Emanuel Brecknell is living in Abberley at the time of the 1841 census (he is a farmer), his wife is Mary and they have 4 children, Charles (9), Betsey (6), Thomas(4) and Harriett(2). Emanuel married Mary Chamberlain in Kidderminster on 12.5.1838, so it is likely that the 3 oldest children were from a previous marriage.
Of the 3 older children, both Betsey and Thomas are recorded in the 1851 census as being born in Stockton, whereas the younger sibs were all born in Abberley.
Does anyone have access to records which might show a marriage for Emanual Brecknell in early 1830s while he was living in Stockton?
many thanks

There is a marriage on the IGI in 1802 in Abberley to Mary Bagnell

That would make it unlikely that she was the mother of children born 30+ years later

Emmanuel was b 1781 so perhaps there was another marriage after Mary Bagnell

A Mary Brecknell aged 53 was buried in Abberley 13.1.1831

Was Mary Chamberlain a spinster or a widow when they married

Hi Carole,
I don't have a lot of information, and don't know if Mary Chamerlain was a spinster when she married Emanual.
IGI give a christening of a Betsey Brecknell on 2.8.1834 at Stockton on Teme, parents are named as Emanuel and Mary Brecknell, and IGI have a Mary Chamberlain and Emanual Brecknell marrying on 12 May 1838 in Kidderminster, and another child, Emma Brecknell being christened 13.6.1842 a Abberley, and parents are given as Emanuel and Mary Brecknell. So, that is what left me wondering if he had a marriage before Mary Chamberlain (also a Mary).
