Pen y Fan sits in a cluster of other peaks including Corn Du, Cribyn and Fan y Big, so most of them can be climbed in a single walk. These are the main 'Beacons' in the Brecon Beacons.

OSWALD ROAD, OSWESTRY, 1878. PREFACE F all the works which have been written relating to the general or family history O of North Wales, none have been for centuries more esteemed than the History of the Gwydir Family. The Hon. Daines Barrington, in his preface to his first edition of the work, published in 1770, has well said, "The MS. hath, for above.a cent~ry, been so prized in North Wales, that many in those parts have thought it worth while to make fair and complete transcripts of it." Of these transcripts the earliest known to exist is one in the Library at Brogyntyn. It was probably written within 45 years of the death of the author; but besides that, it contains a great number of notes and additions of nearly the same date, which have never yet appeared in print. The History of the Gwydir Family has been thrice published. The first editiun, edited by the Hon. Daines Barrington, issued from the press in 1770. The second was published in Mr.

    (Liz) Fleming-Williams 2 April, 1951-10 January, 2019 a Tribute By

    Elizabeth (Liz) Fleming-Williams 2 April, 1951-10 January, 2019 A Tribute by Ray WooDs This rare image of Liz (she was always behind a camera-rarely in front of it) was taken by Rory Francis of the Woodland Trust on the occasion when Liz had persuaded the Welsh pop group Brigyn to launch their second CD inside an ancient oak tree at Rhandirmwyn, Carmarthenshire to help publicise the plight of ancient trees. With the sad death of Liz Fleming-Williams Welsh mycology lost a great supporter. Her name will not be familiar to mycologists outside Wales but within Wales she gave encouragement and support to those of us beating what at times seemed a very lonely path on the road to the acceptance that fungi needed active conservation measure too. Her home in the middle of Wales was always open to mycologists in need of refreshment on the long journey from north to south or vice-versa and it provided a useful and free meeting venue to gather the scattered troops together. Her energies raised the money to safeguard the waxcap grasslands of Gilfach Farm, Radnorshire for future generations. She was captivated by the survival of a tiny fragment of hyper-oceanic lichen community on ancient hazels in a ravine near Maentwrog in Snowdonia and once the farm came on the market threw herself into helping raise the £1.3 million the Woodland Trust needed to buy it. Her images helped promote the site and the financial target was quickly reached. As a keen photographer she brought together her own images and those of others creating one of the first ever publicity leaflet to raise awareness of the plight and importance of grassland fungi.

    '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.
