John Beresford-Ash, 1938-2010

I have just heard that John Beresford-Ash, from one of Ulster's oldest families, was found dead in the grounds of the ancestral home, Ashbrook, last Saturday, the 3rd April, 2010.

I have written about the Ashbrook Estate in a previous article.

John Randal Beresford-Ash was born on 21 January 1938; son of Major Douglas Beresford-Ash and Lady Betty Helena Joanna Rous. He married Agnès Marie Colette Montmoreau, daughter of Comte Jules Marie Guy de Lamberterie de la Chapelle Montmoreau, on 27 March 1968; educated at Eton College, Eton, Berkshire. He held the office of High Sheriff in 1975.
