Attaching a copy of the 1841 census which sadly lists Hugh Snr as not born in the county - Derbyshire  Apologies I should have noted this when I posted details of the 1841 census

          That certainly looks likely with Hugh snr Marriage being in Staffordehire,
Perhaps he was born in Staffordshre.
   I have that there was a daughter Eliza Fletcher, baptised in Derbyshire in 1801 April 5th father Hugh and Hannah.
 Hannah's surname "Derbyshire" certainly leads to confusion.

Hannah Derbyshire
Baptism Date    4 Apr 1773    Darley, Derbyshire

             The will details leave me confused again. I have that Hugh had a daughter Eliza, possibly she has married james Blackwell.
  But the Derbyshie names confuse me once again as Grandchildren. Maybe they are christian names ?
and are the children of Hugh's son John. From the gravestone for Hugh it also names John 's death as 1855.

This might be the burial of John Derbyshire Snr age 22  Burial 2 July 1825 St Werburgh Derby

I think widow Elizabeth Derbyshire remarried James Blackwell on 20 Nov 1832 at St Alkmund, Derby (both were listed as widowed) and living below with Emma Derbyshire in St Michaels Derby in 1841

          You have done well to unravel that relationship.
 A sad afterthought neither Emma or John Fletcher Derbyshire lived long enough to receive the bequest from their Grandfather Hugh. His will was written 1843 and Probate was issued 1849.
 I have found another baptism for an Anne Fletcher with Father Hugh and Mother Hannah
