Now that the Wigan PR's are on ancestry, I can view the image of the Hugh Ryding / Betty Barker marriage (1808) and that Hugh was of Haigh and made his mark, so I don't think he was the same Hugh who married Elizabeth Cocker in 1820 at Walton le Dale as that one was a farmer of Leyland and signed his name. Unfortunately the 1820 marriage doesn't say bachelor or widower.
