Hi, John,
Have only today joined this setup.My mother was born Hallworth in Crewe, Cheshire.From my personal point of view there is a ghastly mistake in the 1881 at 3486-123-60.Head is 30 year old Isaac with his wife Elizabeth - my great grandparents.They were married on 11.8.1872 so the step-son of Isaac, 12 year old John Harrison was born to the Miss Elizabeth HARRISON (!!!) before her marriage.But for reasons which are not clear, their 2 genuine children, 6 year old Allen and 1 year old Alice are more correctly Hallworths, not Harrisons.Allen my grandfather, and for that matter also his sister, Alice, were both well known to me in the 1940's - 60's before their deaths.
My problem was caused by the fact there was a similar aged Allen Hallworth in the same area at the same time and for 2 years I took him to be my grandfather.Hope this is of use to you.
Cheers,
Bob.
