Mayfair
This archive has had Mayfair as a word on two pages and never as an address. Kathleen Barry died here in 1940. Her great-granddaughter Catherine Mary Sophia Booyzen was married at ST JOSEPH'S, MAYFAIR on 15 January 1949 — the hinge into the Lerena archive. And her son HENRY JAMES BOOYZEN was living at 3 15TH AVENUE when he died in 1956. Three generations in one suburb, and the cemetery register is what finally gave it a street number.
