There's a will of a Richard Piggott of Wargrave proved Jan 1805, he mentions sons , Richard, Thomas, John and Robert. I think this Thomas is the one who wrote the will mentioned earlier, because he mentions brothers John, Robert and Richard. So "our" Richard had an uncle and a grandfather also called Richard.
The only marriage I have found for a Richard Piggott in 1841 is one to a Sarah Boniwell in London. Is that the one? On censuses there is a Richard b abt 1795 married to a Hannah living in Wargrave, so two different Richards

Looks like the Richard / Sarah marriage is the right one, he was widower, she was a widow about 14 years older than him. They are in Bledlow Bucks in 1841 with children from Richard's first marriage to Frances Marsden (1822, Ruscombe). In  1851, Richard is widowed again pob Ruscombe. He has a farm of 434 acres and employs 25 labourers, so quite substantial.
