devlin   10 #4 Posted August 26, 2009 My Mums family came off Ranskill Road. They were the Field's. Grandparents and parents with children all lived on their, George Edward and Lily, who went on to have Lily, Herbert, Charlie, Jessie and Jelico and went to live at Ranskill Road because they got work in the pit.. Most of the children named went on to marry have families, most of who also lived in Ranskill Road. Most of them stayed there until the houses were demolished at which they were all sent to different corners of Darnall or Attercliffe.
