Alice Blundell Halsall area

I am looking for Alice Blundell who originates in the Halsall area around 1825/6. She married a Thomas Harrison in St Nicholas church, Liverpool on 21 October 1855. They had a child Ellen Harrison, in 1883 she became the 3rd wife of an Irishman from Longford, Johnston Morton, they had 1 child Richard Morton, in 1889, my grand Father.
Alice died in Liverpool in 1905 and is buried at St Cuthberts church, Halsall
I have isolated a baptism of an Alice, to parents, Richard and Ellen Blundell in St Cuthberts, Halsall in Jan 1827, which with the same names being used in later generations is a good path, but it all goes cold from there. I am asking for a bit of help from any one who may have a family interest or connection with the Blundell line. Many thanks
Steve

Well Education officer!
Thank you for a quick response. You must have some secret information I am not as a mere mortal aware of. My grateful thanks, I will digest this tomorrow, but all seems to fit, I would say 2 sets of twin baptisms seems to be something I would never bet on.
Could you give me a hint as to your information source and it's availability?
Kind regards
Steve

Well done, what a great result, seems to have filled out Steve's tree nicely. Love the way the dob was given to confirm twins, sometimes baptisms are done together to save money and without the birth date given it's a guess whether one is a year or so older than the other.
