I can't find a reliable reference for his father. Some sources state that it was Fred Ashmore, others that Fred was his uncle and that his father was Joe Ashmore. I am also having trouble finding a reference that states his full name was Gerald Ashmore, this is not neccessarily derivable from his being referred to as Gerry. The only full name listing I have is for a Joseph Frederick Harold Ashmore. Anyone got anything better? Pyrope 08:35, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
@Pyrope: Both grandprix.com and oldracingcars.com say that Fred was his uncle and Joe was his father (but you probably already knew that). oldracingcars.com gives his full name as "Joseph Frederick Harold Gerald Ashmore" (but you probably already knew that too). I'll check my other sources and see if I can find anything further. P.S. I've only just seen your question; I didn't deliberately wait 15 and a half years to answer it :-) DH85868993 (talk) 04:29, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
P.P.S. His signature at FORIX (subscription site) reads "Gerald Ashmore". DH85868993 (talk) 04:31, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Meh, what's 15 years between friends, eh DH85868993? That ORC entry is a lot more comprehensive than it used to be! Part of the reason I was reluctant about being definitive before was that while I am inclined to believe Joe Saward (who put together the grandprix.com encyclopedia, before he fell out with his co-founders) his did seem to be one of only a few sources that gave Joe A. as his father. Thanks for following up! :-D Pyrope 21:29, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
