Yes it is confusing!
I'm still leaning towards Elizabeth Cocker being the person your'e after.
There's a marriage between William Cocker & Martha Glover in Standish 1781, they have several children at Chorley including an Elisabeth in 1785. There's also a John in 1781, a John Cocker witnessed the Ryding/Cocker marriage.
I think this William & Martha Cocker are buried at Leyland in 1825 & 1835.
The Elisabeth Cocker born 1785 might be the mother of Margaret Cocker was baptised in 1809 at Chorley.
One of my 4 x great grandmothers married aged 39 in 1830, she had had three illegitimate children (1812, 1818 & 1823) by that point. There were two legitimate children from the marriage in 1831 & 1833. So it's always possible Elizabeth Cocker was a 35 year old when she married.
