Two recent comments and an email from descendants of William Henry ASHFORTH 1851-1899 and Ellen ASHFORTH (née Ellen TOMLINSON 1855-1943) have aroused great excitement. From the details given I have calculated (or to be totally honest I have used the Relationship Calculator tool within PAF) the following:

SH (name withheld for privacy) and Ronald Neil JACKLIN are 3rd cousins. Their common ancestors are William Henry ASHFORTH 1851-1899 and Ellen ASHFORTH (née Ellen TOMLINSON 1855-1943)

LE (name withheld for privacy) and Ronald Neil JACKLIN are 3rd cousins. Their common ancestors are William Henry ASHFORTH 1851-1899 and Ellen ASHFORTH (née Ellen TOMLINSON 1855-1943)

I have replied to the given email addresses and hopefully this will lead to further discoveries for the ASHFORTH and RENWICK lines.

Updates:
2009-01-03 Further research shows Ellen ASHFORTH's maiden name to be TOMLINSON not PASLEY. I have amended this article to reflect this new research.
