Would anyone have knowledge of the family of Walter ASHBY (b. 1843 at Aldbury, Herts) who was a farmer of 500+ acres at Studham from about 1875? His wife was Eliza BAILEY (b.1846 at Studham, d.1899 Studham). They were married at Studham October 17, 1871. Children of Walter and Eliza Ashby were: Gertrude J. Ashby, b. 1873 Aldbury William Henry Ashby, b 1875 Aldbury Florence Lizzie Ashby, b. 1879 Studham, Herts John Ashby, b. 1880 Studham Thomas Ashby, 1883 Studham Annie Ashby, 1884 Studham Marion Ashby, 1886 Studham Daisy Ashby, 1889 Studham Florence Lizzie Ashby married Frank Thomas King in 1906 at St. Mary the Virgin parish church at Oxford University. In 1912 they emigrated to Canada. Florence died in Alberta, Canada in 1938. Florence Ashby and Frank King were my grandparents. I have no knowedge of the members of the family of Florence Ashby aside from the above vital statistics, and I would be very interested to know anything about her family. Thankyou for any information. Sharon Starkey, nee King Vancouver Island, BC, Canada
