I am having trouble locating some of the streets my ancestors lived on. The ones I am having trouble with and the time period are:- New Road in 1848, Moira Place, All Saints in 1848, Super(?) Place in 1851 (very close to Moira Place), Compton Walk, St Mary in 1849 Can anyone give me directions to these streets?

Hello Richard, I found the following in Burgess' "Topographical index of Southampton" at Southampton library today: New Road: From Above Bar Street to Northam Road; constructed 1799 by the Northam Bridge Co. to serve Northam Bridge. (Most of this road is still in existence, although not many houses are left in it.) Moira Place: 18th C Terrace on east side of Above Bar Street, immediately north of New Road. Now demolished. Super(?) Place - I couldn't find this, but only had a few minutes to look. Compton Walk: Early 19th C street running from East park Terrace to St. Mary's Road. Destroyed. Hope the above is of some use.
