Thanks Richard. 

How odd, two Baronies so similar in name.

Ashbourne

Ashbrook

Ashburton

Ashcombe

Ashton

Ashtown

Can anyone add any extinct ash peerages? I think that West and Ash are the most popular prefixes for hereditary peerages.

Westbury

Westmeath

Westminster

Westmorland

Westwood.

The earldom of Ashburnham, just to start off the list.
