Oooh-err!

Marriages Dec 1917
Blinston Harriet Threlfall Chorlton 8c 1308

and there's is an untranscribed (ie not on FreeBMD) record for James Thelfall, same page and volume numbers.

It's possible Richard had died in WW1, as there is this record on the CWGC site

Name: BLINSTON, RICHARD
Initials: R
Nationality: United Kingdom
Rank: Private
Regiment/Service: King's Own (Royal Lancaster Regiment)
Unit Text: 1st Bn.
Date of Death: 01/07/1916
Service No: 3033
Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead
Grave/Memorial Reference: Pier and Face 5 D and 12 B.
Memorial: THIEPVAL MEMORIAL

No middle name though so it might not be the right Richard.
