Father Benjamin SPURRELL, bap. 20 Jan 1763, St. Peter’s Church, Meavy, Devon, England , d. 2 Jun 1833 (Age ~ 70 years)
Other Partners: Eleanor HINES m. 12 Feb 1793Mother Mary CORNISH, d. Yes, date unknown Banns of marriage From 18 Aug 1782 to 8 Sep 1782 St. Bartholomew’s Church, Yealmpton, Devon, England - Shows both were of Yealmpton
Married Abt 14 Sep 1782 St. Bartholomew’s Church, Yealmpton, Devon, England - Date an estimate based on dates of reading of banns, and since both were 'of Yealmpton' when the banns were read and the marriage was post-Hardwicke I'm assuming they married in Yealmpton.
BUT - did they marry at all? - from the docs indexed here it appears there was a maintenance order in 1785 for Benjamin to maintain the illegitimate child of Mary Cornish.

Family Ann KELLY, b. Abt 1784, Yealmpton, Devon, England , d. Mar Q 1871, Plympton Reg Dist, Devon, England (Age ~ 87 years) Banns of marriage From 11 Mar 1810 to 21 Mar 1810 St. Bartholomew’s Church, Yealmpton, Devon, England - The banns book definitely shows the 3rd reading as 21 March, though 25 would seem more likely.

Married 13 Apr 1810 St. Bartholomew’s Church, Yealmpton, Devon, England - Date and place from DFHS index of PR on FMP (viewed 30 Oct 2012)
Easter was late in 1810, 22 April, so Benjamin was marrying in Lent - I don't know how common this was at the time.
A 5 week old Eleanor was bur on 29 Nov 1823 and a 20 day old Robert on 14 Dec 1819; both may well have been children of this marriage
