About James Ashley

"James Ashley seems to have been entrepreneurial. He took his family to the Australian gold rush, not to dig for gold but as a grocer to the diggers. He made a small fortune that way. The family lived on the goldfields in a house made from tea chests!!!" quote from his Great Grand daughter -Elizabeth Eliot
