Births - Jack (John) Apr-Jun 1913 Blackburn 8e/651, MMN - Riley
Thomas Oct-Dec 1915 Blackburn 8e/463, MMN - Riley (you don't mention him, maybe he's one who died?)
Another Thomas Jul - Sept 1918, Blackburn 8e/410, MMN - Riley
Wilfred Jul-Sept 1925, Blackburn 8e/484

The 1911 census says one child had died, by my reckoning this makes the total number of children 8.

A Zipporah Gouldthorpe died aged 0, Jul - Sept 1911 (after census) Blackburn 8e/497
