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.

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.

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.
