I the special collections library in Southampton they have a book which was a report into dilapidated housing in the central part of Southampton. Part of my family lived in Fives Court which was not a healthy place to live happily they do not seem to have been living there for long as they seem to move each time the census was taken.

My grandma was born in Duke Street which I think is fairly close to Terminus Terrace. Would this area be considered part of St Mary's or Chapel or was it too far away? Everything I've looked at so far, only indicates Southampton. Thanks for your help Kind regards Maureen ______________________________
