Have you checked the YorkshireBMD website.
the marriage of Ethel to Alfred HALLS is listed in 1938.
Yorkshire Marriage indexes for the years: 1938 Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Church / Register Office Registers At Reference
FARR Ethel HALLS Alfred St Matthew, Holbeck Leeds CE21/I/204
In the births index there is a birth for Ethel FARR in 1916 (you don't get the quarter on this site).
Yorkshire Birth indexes for the years: 1916 Surname Forename(s) Sub-District Registers At Reference
FARR Ethel Holbeck Leeds HOLB/102/315
This entry doesn't show on FreeBMD yet. Coverage on FreeBMD is sparse for this year, but you could trawl the images to find the entry and check mother's maiden name. Ok, I'm bored and being nice so I've looked it up on the GRO index.
Year 1916 Qtr april - June Hame FARR Ethel MMN HOBSON District Holbeck VOL 9b Page 911
The only Alfred HALLS I could find on the Yorks BMD site and FreeBMD is this one:
Surname Given Name District Volume Page
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Births Sep 1910 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HALLS Alfred Bramley 9b 220
It is a pity that the index doesn't start to show mother's maiden name until sept 1911.
There is a possible FARR and HOBSON marriage but this is back in 1898
Yorkshire Marriage indexes for the years: 1898 Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Church / Register Office Registers At Reference
FARR John HOBSON Sarah A St Mary the Virgin, Hunslet Leeds CE23/I/192
Unless you already know thie parents of Ethel FARR you need her birth cert to prove her parents before assuming that this marriage is her parents.
