DAISY ASHFORD

DAISY ASHFORD

1881-1972

            Daisy Ashford was an English writer who wrote a novel in 1919, when she was aged nine. She gained fame for her publication of her book The Young Visitors under Sir James Barries sponsorship. The book was about upper class society in the late 19th century England. The publishers kept her juvenile grammar and published how she had written it.

            Margaret Mary Julia Devlin (Ashford) was born in Petersham, Surrey, England and was educated at home. She started coming up with stories from the age of four, many of her stories are now lost. She stopped writing during her teenage years and her family eventually settled in London where she worked as a secretary. She ran a canteen in Dover during World War I. With the success of her novels, she purchased a farm and stopped writing in her adult years. As an elderly, she started writing an autobiography which she later destroyed.

            In 1920, aged 38, she married and had four children. They ran a flower-growing business near Norwich. She died in 1972, aged 90, in Norwich, England and was buried at Earlham Road Cemetery.

Lucy Shaw

Because I like to visualize things, I've been look for an faceclaim for Liz's sister Lucy for quite a while now, and thanks to Big Finish on Instagram, I finally found one!

I present to you, Daisy Ashford. This is how I imagaine Lucy Shaw looking. Dark haired and green eyed. Very nice and beautiful.

Also, best thing? Caroline John and Daisy Ashford does look very alike:

Of course, it is no coincidence that they look so similar, because Daisy Ashford is one of Caroline John's three children.

Big Finish recently announced that Jo Grant and Sergent Benton would, along with Tim Treloar's Third Doctor, be reuniting with The Brigadier and Liz Shaw in a new audio. In this audio, Jon Culshaw will replace Nicholas Courtney while Daisy Ashford step up to take over her mother's iconic role.

Daisy has earlier done a number of performances as diffrent characters for Big Finish audios, none of which were connected to her mother's role in the show.
