Brackenbury was born in Raithby by Spilsby, Lincolnshire, the second son of Richard Brackenbury of Aswardby, by his wife, Janetta, daughter of George Gunn of Edinburgh. He was a direct descendant from Sir Robert Brackenbury, lieutenant of the Tower of London in the time of Richard III.

At the battle of Salamanca he took a piece of artillery from the enemy, guarded by four soldiers, close to their retiring column, without any near or immediate support, and in many other important engagements conducted himself with distinguished valour. As a reward for his numerous services he received the war medal with nine clasps. On 22 July 1812, he was promoted to a Captaincy, and after the conclusion of the war was attached to the Portuguese and Spanish army from 25 October 1814 to 25 December 1816, when he was placed on half-pay. He was promoted Major in the Army in 1817 and purchased a Majority in the 28th Foot on 1 November 1827. On 31 January 1828 he was again placed on half-pay. His foreign services were further recognised by his being made a knight of the Portuguese order of the Tower and Sword in 1824, a knight of the Spanish order of St. Ferdinand, and a commander of the Portuguese order of St. Bento d'Avis. Brackenbury, who was knighted by the king at Windsor Castle on 26 August 1836, was a magistrate and Deputy Lieutenant for Lincolnshire. He was promoted Lieutenant-Colonel in the Army on 10 January 1837 while serving in the 33rd Foot, and purchased a Majority in the 69th Foot in 1846. The following year he sold his commission.
