I wonder if it was misheard and was supposed to be Prince Street....within site of the Holy Trinity Church.

The most photographed Hull Street:

Thanks treetotal.  It looks like the married couple had their first child  within a year of getting married so I hope that ordering that certificate will give me the correct address.

Update: doesn't help with the street name but just found this great website for Hull https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/history/

It sounds like they gave addresses in the nearest Parish to Holy Trinity Church as they both lived in different parishes...it wasn't unusual for couples to stay with friends or relatives when the banns were read...you can see why:

Now known as Hull Minster...it was given Minster status in 2017 the year of Hull.. "City of Culture"

Thanks treetotal - an interesting read.  I visited there for the first and only time last year.

Thanks Josey - definitely an unusual middle name!

  • In 1901 the bride and groom are living at 52, Northumberland Avenue which hasn't helped me  ???
  • In 1891 the groom (Robert Milns) is at Poplar Terrace, Rosamond Street - still no help   ???
  • The father of the groom is Robert Laudaback Milns who I thought would be straightforward to find!

Update: In my searches I have come across this website that I hadn't used before:  http://www.rootspoint.com/

Thank you treetotal,

I have been able to confirm that the second one is 85, Barmston Street from the 1901 census.
Priest does look good for the first one but isn't in the list of street names you kindly included the link for.

Thanks Josey, I have just found the bride's father's address in the 1901 census to be 85, Barmston Street matching your suggestion.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Hull street names from 1897 marriage certificate
« on: Saturday 22 February 20 16:14 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you for any help that can be given.
I have attached an extract from an 1897 marriage certificate at Holy Trinity, Hull, however, I cannot work out the residence names.

FindMyPast transcriptions are:
1. 3 Prist Street
2. 85 Barnes Cole Street
If these transcriptions are correct I have struggled to find them on maps new or old.  I would be grateful for second opinions please or links to the transcribed names on a map.

Many thanks,

Nic

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: What I did when I got my DNA results

Good start Nic. As you build your tree further on MyHeritage you will get additional clues through their Theory of Relativity. Updates to it are not very frequent though so you need to be patient for that one.
Just take it a step at a time learning how to use the other sites that you have uploaded to. You will find it takes more effort to work with some of them as they do not give the option of attaching trees so you get less information on each match. You might also want to consider testing at AncestryDNA who have by far the largest database for matching against.

Thank you Craclyn,  nothing yet on MyHeritage's Theory of Relativity  :( although as you say, I'll be patient!).  This morning's task is to add my tree to those DNA sites that I can.  With regards to testing on Ancestry, that is on the to do list but thought I should try to understand what I can do with my DNA results first. Exciting (and confusing) times ahead!

Regards,

Nic
