Hi Jacky

The strange thing is that since he was meant to come from a large family there are very few Halls in either Hunslet or Leeds from c1890 on.

None in Hunslet and only 2 in Leeds in 1912.

Using the phonetic search you can see there is a large Hallas family, perhaps the name changed.

Good Luck

Hi Jacky

The marriage certificate if you can get it may give his fathers info and help to track him.

A place called a Fold from what I've seen on t'internet may have been a place where cattle were kept, Leeds seems to have several "Fold" names. Maybe your one was the Fold nearest Hunslet Hall. There was I believe a Hunslet Hall Road in South Leeds.
