That Richard was alive on the 1841 and 1851 census. That Richard is conveniently also a cordwainer.

On the 1851 census this Susannah says she was born about 1789 in Clayton in the Clay, Yorks.
There's a baptism on FMP at Frickley with Clayton for a Susana Spight (sic) in 1788 and one for a Matthew Speight the following year, both with father William.
I'm not 100% sure Clayton in the Clay and Frickley with Clayton are the same place, but they probably are. I would also suggest you double check the dates of the baptisms as there were several versions of each of them and the dates seemed to vary between 1788 and 1789, making me confused as to whether they are siblings or not (the dates of birth are included on some of the baptism records).
