Looks like he had a brother called Adolphus and a sister? called Algo Vera. Plus some sisters with more "normal" names.
Looks like you missed one Steve, James Horsfold born 1847.

That makes five girls and three boys, from 1847 to 1863. Parents John Broughton and Elizabeth Ward, married St James's Accrington 1845.

I was wondering whether the name Algo for one of the girls might be a mistranscription of Alice or similar somewhere along the line?
