Witnesses at Richard and Betty's wedding were Thomas Rawlinson and Alice Etherington, and I see there is a marriage also at St Anne's Woodplumpton 29 Sep 1823 between Thomas Rawlinson, 21, husbandman, bachelor of Woodplumpton, and Alice Etherington, 25, spinster of Woodplumpton, witnesses William Millner and Jas Billington. Betty had a brother Thomas born 1802, so I wonder if Alice is Richard's sister. Have to follow this up...
I already found burials for Matthew and Isabella and they both died before civil registration and don't seem to have left wills, or at least not listed on Lancashire will search.
