Looking for the parents of Fred R. Hall

His death certificate lists place of Birth as Cleveland and parents as John and Mae, but no other supporting documents have come up yet.

Update: His 1940 Census has him in Missouri living with his second wife, Mae, but says he's from Georgia. 1930 Census has him with Mabel and her family in Georgia, saying he's from Illinois, but his father is from Georgia. And then the death certificate just says Cleveland. Other than the 1910 census you found that has a Fred in Cleveland, I did find one other 1920 Census that seemed likely, and supported a few things, but contradicting others.  And it recently dawned on me that though one might immediately think of Ohio's city, there are multiple Cleveland's.

Find A Grave Memorial# 81756792 link gives name of parents on the death certificate pictured on it. But nothing else. (Not sure if you had this source or not.)

I had seen him at find a grave, and the 1910 ohio census. It does seem promising, but I don't want to jump to conclusions. To confuse things I also found the 1930 georgia census.   They have Fred as being from Georgia parents, but born in Illinois. The Dalton Georgia makes sense, as that's where William L. was born
