The Asher Family

[TotalInformation]

I have been reading many interesting things about Jane and Peter Asher.

Does anyone know the names of any other members of the Asher family? Or any good reference for more about these people?

[AUSTON]

The Asher family consisted of Peter, Jane and Claire as the children. Her father was a doctor and her mother taught music classes at the house. Dr Asher committed suicide in 1979, I think it was.

Peter was half of Peter and Gordon. They once recorded "To Know Him is to Love Him" which normal guys would probably not sing to each other...hint

Jane owns a Cake Shoppe in London and does specialty cakes. She is also an authoress.

I don't know about her sister or whatever happend to her brother.

Mother of three children.

Jane Asher made her first professional appearance at the age of five in the film Mandy (1952).

She made her West End debut in 1960, followed by the Bristol Old Vic in 1965. In 1976, she joined the National Theatre.

Jane Asher is the mother of Katie, Alexander and Rory.

Younger sister of Peter Asher, one of the members of the singing duo, 'Peter and Gordon'.

Played 'Alice' in a 1958 recording of 'Alice in Wonderland'. Returned to the series as Alice's mother in Dreamchild (1985).

Has red hair and blue eyes

Has a younger sister, Claire, who acted in the BBC radio series "Mrs. Dale's Diary" in the late 1950s.

Met her future husband Gerald Scarfe at a private eye party in 1970. Afterwards the two became lovers which resulted in the birth of their first child Katherine. They got married in 1981 when expecting their second child Alexander.

Her father, Dr. Richard Asher, was a psychiatrist and her mother Margaret Augusta Eliot was a classical music professor at the Guildhall School of Drama and Music. She used to play the oboe in symphony orchestras but quit in order to have a family, but continued to give private lessons in her home. One of her students was future Beatles producer George Martin, long before Jane and Paul McCartney ever met.

Attended Miss Lambert's Academy for Young Ladies and Queens College, both in Marylebone, London.

By the time she was fifteen, she had appeared in 8 films, made 9 television appearances, over 100 radio appearances and was in five plays.

Has a stepdaughter, Araminta, from husband Gerald Scarfe's first marriage.

Plays the piano, guitar and flute.

Met the Beatles when she was VIP'd backstage after one of their shows; all four instantly proposed marriage. When it became obvious she was interested in Paul, the others discreetly left the two in his hotel suite... only to come back later and find them discussing their favourite foods.

Paul McCartney stayed overnight with the Ashers in 1964 when he missed his train to Liverpool; within weeks he'd practically moved in with them.

Was Paul McCartney's muse for much of the 1960s; "Here, There And Everywhere" and many other songs were written with Jane in mind.

Once engaged to Paul McCartney; while Jane could tolerate his occasional dalliances, she and Paul disagreed on when to start a family.

Younger sister of Peter Asher, of 'Peter and Gordon' fame, who later became a record producer.

Her father's full name was Richard Alan John Asher and her paternal grandfather's name was Felix Asher.

Her mother was born on February 26, 1914. Her maternal grandparents' names were Edward Granville Eliot and Clara Louisa Phelips.

Her parents were married on July 27, 1943.

Her sister Claire is a schoolteacher in London.

Met her future husband, Gerald Scarfe, at a private eye party in 1971. Afterwards they became lovers, which resulted in the birth of their first child Katie Geraldine Scarfe on April 17, 1974. They got married in 1981 when expecting their second child Alexander.
