Thank you so much Jamcat, that's really good to know. I was hoping that it would be the lady's name so that I could look for Family  :-\
I don't know how she turned up in Hull.

Sigrid would be the feminine name.

Oh I see. Thanks for that.

I can hazard a guess that this photo was sent to someone in Hull from Sigurd as a thank you. This lady may not have been living in Hull.

Picking at straws here but here is a collection of photos from Theodore Finne in Oslo. She may be among them:

Also, from my in laws family there was a great connection between Scandinavian countries  and the Hull Grimsby area of England as fisherfolk fished across the north Atlantic between these two places.  Often the crews met and married women from Scandinavia. 
In my case Denmark. 

In my family this continued down several generations. My mother in law had cousins in Denmark, as did her mother, Nany, all from marriages from Grimsby with Danes.

I am of the same opinion as you, I do know of two families who had connections to Denmark and also Norway through the fishing industry.
One day I may be able to connect her to a family in Hull.
Thanks for that Shanreagh. (What a lovely name)
 I would be proud to have her in my tree, she is a beautiful young woman
