Graham I was brought up in Hessle and just can't figure out how Daircoates could possibly be in the Parish of North Ferriby. As you say Dairycoates is 2 miles west of Hull. Hessle is another 2 miles further west followed by North Ferriby a further 2 miles (at least) west. In my younger days I was a frequent visitor to Dairycoates locomotive depot. In those days one could walk willy nilly among the locomotives.
