Below is a present day map showing an area of the suburb known as Freemantle in Southampton.The area covered is approximately 0.45 square miles (0.75 X 0.60 miles).In this area during the 1850's - 1900's lived several of my BOYES ancestors. Some of these people were closely related but others may not have been aware that they were living in close proximity to a "relative". Addresses below have been extracted mainly from the "Kellys Post Office Directories" for Southampton covering the years 1867 to 1932. The main streets of interest to me are: Albany Rd, Andover Rd, Elgin Rd, Grove Rd, Harold Rd, Kingston(e) Rd, Millbrook Rd, Nelson Rd, Park Rd, Paynes Rd, Queenstown Rd, Sir Georges Rd and Varna Rd.
