We must remind ourselves that Grangetown's eight streets did not begin construction until this year. So the early inhabitants of this small community were some of the early pioneers along with the Grangetown cottages, Eston Junction and Low Lackenby INHABITANTS OF ESTON GRANGE IN 1881 Families of :- Charles Dolan ........

Back Row L/R Mr.Field (overseer at Bolckow Vaughan) Mary Field.(daughter) Middle Row: James Field,(son) Mrs Field holding Cecilia Field (who died Xmas 2002 in her 90`s)Richard Henry Field (son) aged 7/8 (who was the father of John Field who donated this snap) and at the front Lillian Field (who died Dec 2001) A Lily Field - born in 1887 - father Isaac - lived in 14 Laing Street in 1894 and she and her sister Ruth who was born a year later in 1888 - both attended Grangetown Board School for a short time in 1895 until leaving in December of that year. Perhaps they moved to Eston Grange? But this Lily Field would have been 113 in 2001 - so I presume they were earlier relatives of the family above. I wonder. John Field's Wages in 1911 John Field's Wages in 1911 - courtesy of Field Family Burial Fees Receipt 1936 Burial Fees Receipt 1936 - courtesy of Field Family An interesting address for Mr A Wilkinson is Braemar, Bolckow Road, Grangetown. One wonders where this house/business was precisely. Perhaps it was it the detached house which stood forlornly opposite the Lyric Cinema - Pit entrance -( there's another strange choice of name for the "dabs" ) where the cheapest seats could be obtained - Was it a throwback to mining days? Printed Christmas Card 1917 from John Field + Family Printed Christmas Card 1917 from John Field + Family Inside the card of 1917 Inside the card of 1917 - Field Family Original Birth Certficate 1905 Original Birth Certficate 1905 - courtesy of Field Family Eston Grange Row Eston Grange Row - courtesy of Joan Hetherington Joan's parents were Joe Sanders (also called Beecham) who lived at 14 and Mary Jane Fields at 18. They married in 1929 and lived at Number 14 where Joan was born along with her brother Richard. Other families remembered in the row include the Blands and Harrisons. Her husband John was originally from Grangetown and emigrated to Canada in 1951. Joan followed in 1952. They now live near Vancouver, British Columbia. The Hieron Sisters 1908 The Hieron Sisters 1908 - courtesy of Brenda Birch My Mum Ida Wilson nee Gatiss was born in 15 Eston Grange 1916 (and still going) d/o Tom & Esther Gatiss. She recalls that the two girls were Hieron sisters one of whom was called Emily. This family lived at 24 Eston Grange. the little one in the photo is Linda Alberta Gatiss, her sister, who was born in 1906 , whom the sisters used to sometimes mind. Unfortunately this is all the info I have. Brenda. PS I was born in Eston Grange as well.  Email page  Feedback  Home GRANGETOWN IN TIMES PAST |Football Teams |St Marys School |Mick Traynor - Boer War Recruit + Others |Streets and Buildings |Grangetown People |World War One 1914 -18 |Parish, Priests and Processions |Street Stories + Characters |1925 Ladies Parish Outing + More |The Twenties |A Tale from the Duckie + other stories |The Thirties |School Teams |Junior Teams |World War Two 1939 - 45 |Messages from Home & Abroad |Shops and Shopkeepers |Editor's Diary |The World of Work |V.I.P.'S |The Forties |CoachTrips |Upstairs and Downstairs... |The Board School |Pochin Road Infants School |Leisure & Sports |Grangetown Boys' Club |Memorabilia |The Mission |Sir Wm Worsley School |The Fifties |Maps, Plans & Aerial Photos |St Peter's Senior School |Local Books |Salvation Army |Low Lackenby |Eston Grange |Victorian Memories |The Sixties |Eston Junction |Weddings |St Matthew's Parish |Eston Grammar School |Contact Information for Grangetown in Times Past |Links for Grangetown in Times Past |Message Board |Guestbook |Event Calendar |Mail Form
