Halfrek's comment about the Crimean War means that, if nothing else is sure, human Cecily couldn't have become demon Halfrek.
I always interpreted the "Halfrek?", "William?" exchange as a wink to the fans who recognized that the actress playing Halfrek was the same one who played Cecily.
I think Halfrek probably was Cecily, the recognition when they saw each other could have just been that at some point, early in Spike's life as a vampire they met each other, but it's just tidier if she was Cecily, and she was in England to get vengeance on someone when Spike was still human.

Both Cecily and Halfrek were played by the same actor, and in Older and Far Away Halfrek recognises Spike and calls him William.
There is no conclusive evidence, but it is possible that Cecily was Halfrek's human identity before she became a demon, or that Halfrek was playing the role of Cecily while exacting some vengeance much like she played the role of counsellor for Dawn in Older and Far Away.

As for the connection between Halfrek and Cecily, unless anything happens in a future live action episode that disproves they are the same person i think i'll assume that they are one and the same.
