I believe it means that he had a foundry....


Re the County Down Halls - not sure if this helps:
My WJ Hall married a Jane Hall in Moira, County Down in 1846. I have not been able to find their marriage certificate. 
Jane Hall had two sisters, Sarah Hall and Mary Hall and possibly a brother Alexander Hall. Sarah was born in 1823 baptised in Donaghmore, Tyrone.  Their parents were Alexander Hall and Sarah Smythe.

All this is on my ancestry site.
