There are huge variations in the spelling of the name Hallworth in the old records (almost as many as I get in each postal delivery!).
e.g. Hallworth, Halworth, Hallsworth, Haldsworth, Holworth, Holwith, Aldworth, Allworth etc.
Of course, the names were not really spelled 'incorrectly', but rather, spelling in those times was much more flexible & phonetic.
Spellings of names became more settled from the date 1837 when BMD registration began, though it was still rare for folks to write their own names.
