Joseph Ashby, the illegitimate son of Elizabeth Ashby, an unmarried servant. was an agricultural trade unionist born in Tysoe, Warwickshire, England.
'His life was remarkable, encapsulating in many aspects the ideal of the self-improving working man, and embracing most of the institutions - the nonconformist chapel, trades unionism, and working-class Liberalism - that so clearly represented social and political betterment in the later years of the nineteenth century.' (Quotation from Alun Howkins, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography).
M. K. Ashby, the author of this biography, was his daughter.
