I used a slightly different test. I first selected all children (HV105 < 18) with a mother listed in the household (HV112 in 1:97), and then output any case with a mother's age of < 10 or >= 70 or a difference in age between mother and child of < 12 or > 60 years. I get 37 cases only. If I use <=11 and >=57 I match the 39 cases.
In terms of picking cut offs, that is really your choice, but I think those choices make some sense. For the father, I think you would have to go with a much higher cutoff at the top end as there are many cases of the being recorded as 70 years or more older than the child. However, at the low end you could probably use a minimum difference of up to about 15 years. The choice is really yours for your analysis.
