I'd definitely recommend using prow_ref=* to store the reference names/numbers of Public Rights of Way (Footpaths, Bridleways, Restricted Byways and BOATs). Usually, I think, the numbering system is on a per-parish basis. If so, then it would be useful to include the parish name too for disambiguation purposes. Unless the County Council uses some other specific scheme, I'd suggest using a standard format of prow_ref="[Parish Name] [Type] [Number]" where [Type] is one of FP, BR, RB, and BY, and [Number] is the assigned path number without any leading zeros (usually integer, possibly with a letter suffix). So your example above would presumably become be prow_ref=Ingbirchworth FP 1.
