Hi Pat I've just come across your inquiry on "Roots" about Barracks Yard I don't know if you found the answers you were looking for,but when researching about my ancestors the Paulucci's I found that my Great Grandma's sister Ellen Batty(nee Paulucci) was living in Barracks Yard with her husband and children on the 1891 census and her husband was also a coal miner,but I don't know if the houses were specifally for coal miners families, but Great Grandma's other sister Eliza Wallis (nee Paulucci) and her husband who was a Blacksmith Striker presumably at the pit also lived in Barracks Yard, so I have been asking some of my older relatives who were brought up in that area if they knew where it was,they all say it was at the bottom of Lock Hill, Nethergreen, Killamarsh.
I hope this info has been of some help.
