Hi David...I read your message and wondered is this website might help you,
http://yorkshirebmd.org.uk/cgi/birthind.cgi it's easy to navigate, just click on the dates that are relevant to you, type in the surname, click the search button and that's it, easy.
I'm from Hull myself and have found many of my family on this site. Hope it's of some use? I presume you meant Hull in the UK and not the Hull in Canada?
