  • '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.

  • Pool Mission Area News
    Pool Mission Area News 8th Issue - December 2016 People news We are delighted to welcome Alexis Smith to the Mission Area. Alexis is serving as a Pioneer Minister working primarily in Llandyssil and Castle Caereinion but hopefully developing a model for rejuvenating small rural churches which can be developed for use elsewhere. This is a 3-year post funded by the Diocese. Sadly there were no applicants for the post of a ‘House for Duty’ priest based in the Border Bridges Group when it was advertised in the autumn. It will be re-advertised at some point in the New Year after we have become a Mission Area as that might allow us more flexibility in the way the job is configured. In the meantime the four full-time clergy in the MA will each provide pastoral care to one of the churches. Rev’d David Francis, is making steady progress recovering from the stroke he suffered earlier in the year whilst Rev’d Imogen Marsden, another of our retired clergy, is on the mend after knee surgery. Rev’d Bethan Scotford’s husband Ron, and Rev’d Hazel Stibbe’s husband Paul are both not at all well – please keep them in your prayers over Christmas. Mission Area Progress The date has been set for the Commissioning Service when we will formally become a MA. This will be on Sunday 12th March. The time & venue will be confirmed early in the New Year. If you would like to be involved in preparing the service and any other events for this day, please let me know.

    ABERMULE BUSINESS PARK Frequently Asked Questions 1. What is the current construction programme for the Recycling Bulking Facility? The contractor started on site on the 7 October 2019. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, works were suspended in March but have recently recommenced. It is now anticipated that all construction works will be complete by the end of 2020, with the site operational in Spring 2021. All works are being carried out in accordance with current Covid-19 regulations and guidance. 2. What is the cost of the project? The current anticipated cost of the project is £4.1m. This includes construction costs for the recycling bulking facility and site investigation, surveys, fees, etc for the entire site, including the business unit element. 3. Has Powys CC liaised with the local community? Since the commencement of the development, as agreed at the Cabinet meeting on 21 May 2019, the project team have liaised with the local County Councillor, along with members of the community council, as the elected representatives, with a number of meetings being held. 4. Did Powys CC cabinet overturn a full council decision not to proceed with the site? No. At the Full Council meeting on 3 May 2019, where a virement for the funding of the facility was being discussed, due to the presence of the Abermule community, one of the Members requested a vote on whether the Council supported the development of the facility. It was explained by the Monitoring Officer that this was a purely indicative vote as there was nothing within the constitution for this to happen and the decision remained with Cabinet.

There were about 3,000 fewer records in 2016 than in 2015 - Birdtrack records were lower by c.1,500 and those from Dolydd Hafren were reduced by c.2,000. 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.
