  • 'IARRIAGES Introduction This Volume of 'Stray' Marriages Is Published with the Hope That It Will Prove
    S T R A Y S Volume One: !'IARRIAGES Introduction This volume of 'stray' marriages is published with the hope that it will prove of some value as an additional source for the familv historian. For economic reasons, the 9rooms' names only are listed. Often people married many miles from their own parishes and sometimes also away from the parish of the spouse. Tracking down such a 'stray marriage' can involve fruitless and dishearteninq searches and may halt progress for many years. - Included here are 'strays', who were married in another parish within the county of Powys, or in another county. There are also a few non-Powys 'strays' from adjoining counties, particularly some which may be connected with Powys families. For those researchers puzzled and confused by the thought of dealing with patronymics, when looking for their Welsh ancestors, a few are to be found here and are ' indicated by an asterisk. A simple study of these few examples may help in a search for others, although it must be said, that this is not so easy when the father's name is not given. I would like to thank all those members who have helped in anyway with the compilation of this booklet. A second collection is already in progress; please· send any contributions to me.

The British Trust for Ornithology is a very important information source providing Garden Birdwatch, Birdtrack and Bird Ringing data (the latter not included in the chart/dataset above but some is used anecdotally throughout the report). No other BTO survey data is included. The Birdtrack data is valuable though ensuring integrity of the dataset initially provided by the BTO requires significant manual effort.

  • Newtown Exhibition
    Assembling Newtown: Moving with the Times Glanhafren Market Hall September 19th - 30th 2017 An Exhibition about Newtown’s global past present future What’s this all about then? How does a small town survive or thrive a ‘global age’? What does globalization mean to you? How do you think globalization has affected Newtown? These are big questions, ones we hope together to form some answers to. Purpose of Exhibition We are trying to put together the pieces of a puzzle. We are trying to assemtble a picture of Newtown as it is has been and might be in the future. We have been visiting Newtown for two years now. We have met and interviewed lots of people, looked at the changes of the town over the past century, worked with schools, talked to community groups, local businesses, undertaken and in-depth survey of residents and produced a report of the findings. The purpose of this exhibition is to showcase some of that research. To reflect our impressions of the town, our thoughts on how it is being affected by people and places and process from far outside its boundaries, and see what you think of them. Why Newtown? Why was Newtown chosen as one of the research sites for the GLOBAL-RURAL project? What makes Newtown special? Newtown, like most small rural towns has been integrated into global (or at least international) networks of trade and culture for a very long time. Newtown’s fortunes have been influenced by changes in technologies, markets and social attitudes and ideas from many different places.
