Amalia Mary Maud Cassel was born on December 18, 1880, in Paddington, Westminster, Greater London, England. She was the only child of Sir Ernest Cassel and Lady Annette Mary Maud Cassel, nee Maxwell. Her mother died sometime in 1881.
On January 4, 1901, Amalia Mary Maud Cassel and Lt. Colonel Wilfred William Ashley were married. He was the son of the Rt. Honorable Anthony Evelyn Melbourne Ashley and Sybella Charlotte Farquhar Ashley.
They had two daughters: the Honorable Edwina Cynthia Annette Ashley, born November 28, 1901; and the Honorable Ruth Mary Clarisse Ashley, born on July 22, 1906.
Mrs. Amalia Mary Maud Ashley, nee Cassel, the wife of Mr. Wilfred Ashley, Member [of Parliament] for the Blackpool Division, died on February 5, 1911, at her father's home, Broadlands, in Romsey, Hampshire.
Mrs. Ashley had been in weak health for some years, and seriously ill in Egypt in 1909. She improved by the end of the year, and Mr. Ashley returned to England for the Blackpool election in January 1910. Mrs. Ashley traveled in April 1910 by easy stages on the Nile then by train to Alexandria, boarding the steamship Osmanieh to England. She traveled to her father's estate at Broadlands, where she appeared to benefit from the open-air treatment, but recently her condition became worse. She leaves as survivors her husband and two daughters, ages nine and five years.
The news of Mrs. Ashley's death was received with much regret in Blackpool, with the Mayor telegraphing condolences to Mr. Ashley and flags were flown at half-mast at all public buildings. Mrs. Ashley had won the regard of all classes and was extremely popular since Mr. Ashley had been adopted as the Unionist candidate for Blackpool in 1905.
The funeral of Mrs. Ashley, wife of Mr. Wilfred Ashley, M.P. and daughter of Sir Ernest Cassel, took place yesterday afternoon, February 9, 1911, at Romsey. A special train left Waterloo to convey to Romsey a number of relatives and close personal friends, among them being Mr. Stonor representing the King [George V] with a wreath; and an official from the Germany Embassy conveyed another especially sent on behalf of the German Emperor [Wilhem II]. The service was conducted by the Vicar of Romsey (the Rev. H. M. Tappen) and Canon Yarborough, of Christchurch. The remains were interred in the vault made for Lord Palmerston forty-five years ago but never used.
A memorial service was held at St. George's, Hanover Square. The chancel was decorated with evergreens and lilies of the valley. The service was conducted by Prebendary Anderson; the funeral music included Liszt's "Consolation," the "Requiem AEternam," and the Funeral Marches by Tchaikovsky and Chopin. Many members of the nobility and society were present at the service.
