It has been produced by the Project Manager employed specifically by the Partnership for this work, with assistance from many people including the Partners' representatives on the Partnership. A draft document was published for public consultation in March 2004, and this is the final document resulting from both that consultation and further debate within the Partnership. Since the public draft was published, a wide ranging Options Appraisal has also been carried out, reviewing all future options against social, environmental and economic criteria. This has also contributed to refining this Strategy, and a summary of the appraisal has been included within, as an additional chapter. Nine specialist reports have also been commissioned as part of this work, and fifteen organisations within the Partnership have devoted much time during the lively debates and discussion during our regular meetings. To those who have attended those meetings, and other specialists who have commented and advised during the preparation of this document we express our thanks. During consultation, over 700 questionnaires were completed during the consultation work. Many of these were from local residents, whose views are vital, as the future of the Canal must be one that embraces and respects the values of as many interests as possible. Last but not least, we must express our thanks to the various funding agencies who have made this work possible: Heritage Lottery Fund European Objective 2 British Waterways Powys County Council Shropshire County Council Inland Waterways Association Shropshire Union Canal Society Countryside Council for Wales English Nature We hope you like the result, but please remember the Strategy is the starting point for achieving the vision outlined. Many more years of fundraising and enhancement works lie ahead, and we hope that we can continue to rely on your help as we move on to deliver this exciting project.

  • '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.
