Saintfield Christmas Charity Santa Ride

Today saw the launch, in Rowallane Garden, of the 2013 Saintfield Christmas Charity Santa Ride. The annual Charity Ride, organised by Joan Cunningham [pictured right], is in aid of underprivileged children in Uganda and Rwanda whose parents have either died from AIDS or have been murdered.

Riders from the Showjumping, Eventing, Hunting, Racing and Showing world, not forgetting of course the Happy Hackers, will take part in this charity fundraising event – all dressed as Santas!

On Saturday 7th December the real Santa and his Santa guests will ride from Saintfield Livestock Mart to the Christmas Tree on Main Street, arriving there at 1:00pm.  This is a spectacular event not to be missed!

Photos taken at today’s launch can be viewed HERE.

Descendants of Alexander Massey of Tonaghmore sought

Sandra Ward, who lives in Motherwell, Scotland, is researching her family history, which takes her back to two families around Saintfield, the Battons and Masseys.

She has  found out a lot about the Battons but would like to make contact with any descendants of Alexander Massey who was a farmer in Tonaghmore in the 1850s or 60s.  He had three sons, John, William and Robert and a daughter Eliza who married a Batton.

If you are a descendant of Alexander Massey or know someone who is, please respond to this post and we will put you in touch with Sandra.
