Hi Adrian
Looking on the net he was born Leytonstone Essex 24 August 1904
Dont think he ever went to Brandon looking at his records where he worked or studied

People usually choose their own names if they are available. He would have had some connection even if it was only that he went there on holiday.
Try the Brandon website. You could e-mail someone there.

Hi Adrian
Been looking on the net via AltaVista search engine and Answers.com Found loads of pages about Eric Ashby but never any mention of wife or family. Which I though a bit perculiar as some of them were obituaries.
I then remembered a couple of books I have so dug one of them out.
Found Sir Eric Ashby Kt. cr 1956 in my 1967 edition of Whos Who.
Its the same chap. His parents were HERBERT CHARLES ASHBY of Bromley, Kent and HELENA CHATER. Married 1931 Wife's name ELIZABETH HELEN FARRIES, Castle-Douglas, Scotland. 2 sons (no names mentioned)
Recreations: Chamber music and Walking. Address Clare College Cambridge and Club Athenaeum
His entry is half a page long and he held a lot of posts during the war years so maybe he had connections with Brandon in those days. Although no specific mention.
Jean

Lord Ashby's address in the 1972 edition of Who's Who was:- Manor Rd, Brandon, Suffolk.
Since Life Peerages were initiated in 1958, most peers would choose titles that went : Baron - surname - territorial designation. Ashby simply took his territorial designation from the place where he lived. He could just as easily have used Bromley (his place of birth) as his TD.
