Hi Teaup,
Where do the birth details come from - is it the 1901 census? There's a boarder by the name of James Byford staying with the family in 1901, therefore I'd say this is a very likely match in 1881:

Let's see if we can trace him back from there ...

1871
RG10/4555 131 38
Leeds, Yorkshire
10 Tennison Street
Alfred Walker, head, 46, Joiner, b. Lancs Manchester
Jane, wife, 44, b. Ireland
William Chambers, stepson, unm, 23, Mechanic, b. do.
Elizabeth Chambers, stepdau, unm, 22, employed in Shawl Mill, b. Northumberland Berwick on Tweed
Joseph Chambers, stepson, 18, Cloth Dresser, b. Lancashire Manchester
Jane Walker, dau, 19, Cloth Dresser, b. do.
Lawrence Walker, son, 18, Cloth Dresser, b. do.
Alfred Eyres, grandson, 2, b. Yorkshire Leeds
Richard Eyres, grandson, 4, b. do.
Strange that the children are called Eyres but Elizabeth is down as unmarried with the surname Chambers
(there a possible marriage Alfred Walker - Jane Chambers in 1864, Leeds Registered Building)

I'd say the 1871 census was a mistake:
Source YorkshireBMD
Marriage 1866 St Mark Woodhouse
Elizabeth Chambers to William Hare
Marriage 1875 St Jude Potteryfield
Elizabeth Chambers or Hare to Charles Byford
Elizabeth's father was, I believe, a Samuel Chambers born ca. 1812 South Witham Lincolnshire (a private at Carlisle St Mary in 1851)
