          Early life

          Ashton-Warner was born on 17 December 1908 in Stratford, New Zealand, one of ten children born to Francis Ashton-Warner, a bookkeeper, and Margaret Maxwell, a schoolteacher 14 years his junior.

          When Francis's health deteriorated, Margaret became the sole breadwinner, thus needing to take the younger children to school with her to sit in her classroom while she taught. The older children were left at home with their mostly bedridden father.[1]
