The following names were found in various historical records such as Ash Muster Rolls, Tax Lists, Court Documents, Land Transactions, Manor Records, Wills, and old books.
The names were then cross-referenced with the Ash Parish Register to generate this list of Ash families from the 1500’s which gives us a good sample of the main families of Ash Parish.
The names are listed in alphabetical order by men, with the names of the women they married (if known).
Frimley was in Ash Parish at this time but Frimley Men will be listed in a separate post.
