William Brain/Beata Beddis children (General)

William Brain dob 1778??? married Beata Beddis on 1 Jan 1807 Flaxley (marriage record obtained from this site).I have no idea who his father was.
Just noticed that the marriage record to Beata Beddis shows him to be a widower. Has anyone any information as to his first marriage and did he have children?

I have found the baptism records on this site for the following children:
William born 4 March 1807
Charles born 29 Aug 1811 died 6 March 1816
Elizabeth born 1813
Thomas born 1817
sophia born 24 Feb 1819
Beata born 1822
Lucy born 1828.

All the above children are accounted for via baptism records BUT I have two more children shown in my records which I am not certain are correct.
One is an Emily Brain born abt 1824 but cannot find baptism which would connect her to William and Beata.
The other one is a James Brain who married Mary Herbert on 30 April 1831 at Abenhall. There is no father named on the marriage record.
For whatever reason I had this James in my records as the son of William and Beata but as I cannot find a baptism record for him I am not certain I have the correct father. To confuse the issue, 1841 census shows him as born 1806, 1851 as born 1810, 1861 as born 1805, 1871 as born 1804 and 1881 as born 1801.
Any help appreciated. Regards Jean Herbert
