Hi, For some reason I seemed to have missed your post. But I just found out that my grandmother Mary Tassin was born in Vale Colliery in 1888. I know this was a mining town, do you know where I can find out any more information about the town or people? My grandmothers parents were Joseph and Louise Hallet Tassin b in Belgium. Louise's mother was Celeste Delsaux who after the death of her husband Joseph Hallet, married John Joseph Tassin.In that small a town there must be some connection to Catherine Tassin Thanks Kay
