He married Elizabeth Nuton (Newton) on  12 Feb 1712 in Taunton.
Elizabeth b. 26/7/1690 Taunton d. May 1734 in Wrington.
They had 7 sons and one daughter
Robert b. 28 Jun 1691 Wrington d. 5 Jan 1763 in Wrington

Hi
I visited Burnett last spring and it is a beautiful little village with a manor house, the small St. Michael's Church & graveyard and Elm farm.The gravestones were worn down so that I couldn't read the names but William is said to be buried there. I descend through son George born 1760. Elm farm is still owned by the Paget family and they were very nice to invite us in and tell us more of the history. The house William Ashley lived in when he was the tennant is no longer there however., I think a barn has been built on that site. The current owner of the Manor house also invited us to tour the grounds with her, so it was great to be so close to the environs where our ancestors lived.

Hi Liz,
Yes, your information all jives with mine.
Thomas Ashley b. 1735 d. 1815 in Burnett & Grace Jones m. 1769 Burnett, with 10 children including Mary and and Robert, and with Thomas' siblings being Betty, Ruth, William, Thomas and James.

Thomas 1735-1815 seems to be a brother to William (my ancestor), Thomas, James, Betty and Ruth.

So glad to see so many other people researching this Ashley line !

I have the same data as you have. I think the Robert and Mary is just a guess and I can't find any proof of that at all, so I am not going to use it.
I guess we will just keep on sleuthing!
But we are definitely distantly related. I descend from William's son George(1760) while you follow Robert's (1754) tree.
Thanks again

Hi,
Who do you have as the earliest Ashley in your tree?
I have got back as far as William born 1730 in Bath St. Michael and died 1784 in Burnett, Somerset. Wife Mary Bailey, married in 1753.
Would love to learn his parents names.
Thank you

Robert's parents were William Ashley and Mary Bailey.

Could you please check for the marriage of Philip Amy born 1801 and Rachel Mary Le Gros b.1811.
Probably in St. Saviour, but possibly St. Martin. Would be around 1830.

Thanks!
