Mary - Ash Lodge existed prior to Ashe's move (unless there were two in close proximity) -
Cannell's 1843 guide:
By returning to Kirk Patrick Church, and continuing the road, we shall arrive at Ballamoore, the seat of Mr. Richardson, which demonstrates how favourable the climate and soil of the Island are for the growth of timber. A short distance from Ballamoore is the vicarage house, pleasantly embosomed in trees, the residence of the Rev. T. Stephen, beyond which is Ballacosnahan, that of Mrs. Gelling, and Ash Lodge, of Miss St. John,

Thus very close to Kk Patrick church (look up on www.manxnotebook.com)

found in most directories but not with Mr Ashe as occupant - ? if he rented it briefly on move to Peel - his children are baptised in several places so he obviously moved

You might find searching for Ashe on Manxnotebook turns up a few more

Laurel Bank and Wheal Michael.

1n his report for 1863 Sir W. W. Smyth refers to a working of this name carried on by Mr. Ashe "in some singularly contorted ‘country’ in which were some irregular floors of quartz sparsely containing delicate stars of a rare nickel-mineral, ‘Millerite,’ but there was no lode at all." In his "List of Manx Minerals" (Isle of Man Nat. Hist, and Antiq. Soc., vol. i., p. 147) the same authority mentions the mineral as "delicate capillary crystal vein-stuff at  a trial shaft at Rhenas, south of Kirk Michael." It is not easy to identify this locality Laurel Bank is given on the 6-inch Ordnance map, Sh. 9, as the name of a house on the western side of the Neb Valley one mile below Glen Helen; Rhenas is two or three miles higher up the same valley just above Glen Helen. There are traces of a small mining trial between these places, 500 yards south-west of Lambfell Mooar, in the little gully which joins the Neb Valley just below Glen Helen; but Mr. Ashe’s trials seem chiefly to have been carried on, tinder the title of the "WHEAL MICHAEL MINE," on the hill named Cronk ny Fedjag, about a mile north of Rhenas,

This might well explain his residence in Peel
any thing with a Manx Connection
