I notice that the birth is actually registered in Sculcoates, Yorkshire. Was the Hull address given as the mother’s usual address?
A Maud Roycroft age 25 appears in shipping lists for the Campania sailing for New York in May 1913.

On the image it looks more like 35. She is a teacher.

I agree  and the Arrival info in New York says 35. She appears to have been born in Ireland.

Princes Road runs pretty much from Sculcoates to Hull (they are really close and the road is a mile long) so it may be called Princes Road Hull but be in the Sculcoates registration district (the church on that road is meant to be in Sculcoates, yet its counted as being in Hull)

1911 Irish Census has a Maud Roycraft aged 25 (?) who is an 'Assistant' at what appears to be an orphanage or school.  Don't know to view original census page to see if surname mistranscribed. 

Single and a Methodist.

Looking at the 1911 census found by Annette the surname could be Roycroft, however age is 25. Surely more than a coincidence however that the address is Northbrook Rd, Dublin which is the same as the address for her next of kin, Mr Edward R Roycroft, in the New York arrival in 1913.

Edward Roycroft’s death in Dublin in 1922 gives his address as 13A Northbrook Rd. ( down as Raycroft in the irishgenealogy.ie index).
