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

No 1 is IMO Print Street or maybe Priest Street.
No 2 maybe Barmston Street?

ADDED: Do you have the bride or groom in 1891?

Have you found them on the 1891-1901 census?
I thought Priest Street too and Barnes Court.
I have never heard of either of them and I grew up in Hull!

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

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.

- 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/

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 Josey - definitely an unusual middle name!

There's a tree on ancestry with him; owner tigs10

The 'n' has obviously been transcribed as 'u'. The first vowel of Li[a][e] seems undecided! I would take the GRO birth register as most likely.

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

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

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/

Thank you - seems to be the right family but alas no residence description around the time in question.
