Kathryn, You are right on the name change. I have just looked at Bitterne Local History Society's pages. There is a list of road name changes and Alma Road,Woolston was changed to Florence Road in 1924. There were Alma Roads in Bitterne, Shirley & Bassett which were also changed.

And it's right where I predicted it would be too - running parallel to Inkerman Road and joining Johns Road. Nice to know that Barbara's Jamesons were neighbours of my great grandparents, and that another lister has ancestors from Essex who probably worked alongside them too. Who said it was a small world?
