I may even be in the wrong country with this one but hopefully people can help me in someway. There is an old verbal story in our family regarding some family members being 'chased' by the Black and the Tan. This was supposed to have happened in Belfast pre 1900. The family member who used to tell this story has since passed on but noone could get much more out of him except that they were very scared of this Black and the Tan. Could someone please tell me who they were (the Black and the Tan) and why they would have 'chased' people etc? Thanks Sharron --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
