Name Annie AINSWORTH Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Sep Q 1865 Darwen, Lancashire, England 
- From censuses
GRO ref: AINSWORTH, Ann q3 1865 Blackburn RD 8e 376; GRO online index shows mother's maiden name as Ostick
(although there were several Anns whose births were registered around this time in Blackburn RD - one in 1864, another in 1866, by looking for Ann in the censuses, with the right father's name and birthplace, and then looking for birth registrations for her siblings found there, it is clear that it was this Ann)
Baptised 3 Mar 1894 St. Barnabas’ Church, Parish of St. John the Evangelist, Over Darwen, Lancashire, England - From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 21 Aug 2018)
Conditional baptism - i.e. there was uncertainty over whether Annie had been baptised, and so there was her baptism if she hadn't previously been.
It suggests her parents were probably dead, or else they would most likely have provided the information, and may have been prompted by a desire to be confirmed or by a parish mission.

GRO ref: Ainsworth, Richard to Ostick, Maria q4 1860 E Retford RD 7b 44
(the timing and combination of a Richard Ainsworth with the unusual name Maria Ostick on the same page strongly point to the marriage being of this couple, and it is in the RD where Maria was born)
Ostick is a fairly uncommon surname, found mostly in Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire in the period 1850-1890.
However, there were also a number of Ostick births in Blackburn RD from 1865 - I suspect a sibling or other close relation of Maria may have made a similar move.
Of more importance to this tree, there was also a birth of an Ainsworth with the mother's maiden name of Ostick who does not seem to be a child of Richard and Maria, from the date of registration (q3 1864, too close to that of their son John William) and from his name (Allfred Ernest, when they already had an Alfred, still living).
This means it would be unsafe to assign other Ainsworths with a mother's maiden name of Ostick to Richard and Maria without further evidence.
Possible children:
The birth of an Amelia was registered in 1855, probably died 1859 and a James in 1859, probably died the same year (so neither will appear in censuses). These being before the marriage of Richard and Maria I think they were probably children of the other Ainsworth = Ostick couple.
In 1869 the birth of an Edward Percival was registered, died the following year (death registered as Edward Percy) and in 1882 a Richard was born, who died the same quarter. I think it quite likely that Edward and Richard were sons of Richard and Maria.
