As you asked if they sound the same.....
.In the North West of England, Greenhalgh is pronounced Green Alges or Green Alches. Greenall is just pronounced as it looks. Hope this helps a bit.

Jessie was an unmarried Mother who was in service in Manchester/Salford at the time of birth.
Trying to find where she was born....
