Ida married in 1914 29 Sidney Summons reg. at Wickam, NSW. (he was possibly the Sydney J Summons whose birth was reg. at Lithgow in 1893 46, parents John Richard and Elizabeth Ann Summons). Sometime between the registration of her birth and baptism Clara's first given name was changed to Ida and she married as Ida. It was only at her death that the family discovered her birth registration had been as Clara May and she was buried as Clara (Ida) Summons 4. As there is no NSW BDM death or marriage to 1945 indexed under the Fullford surname for her daughter Edith M. it seems likely the daughter was adopted resulting in a change of her surname to that of the adoptive parents. A descendant of one of Edith's half-brothers has advised it was known by the family that their mother had a child before her marriage 52.14.

Ivy's husband Joseph Ashton was a grandson of Co. Essex, England, born James Henry Ashton (ca.1819-1889) whose real name may have been Golding. He founded Ashton's Circus in Launceston, Tasmania in Feb. 1851 and by the mid-1870s quote - "headed one of Australia's largest and best equiped travelling circuses boasting a tent capable of holding 800 spectators, about 40 horses and a large brass band" 36. Up until 2002, then in existance for two-thirds of the time since the first white settlement of Australia, Ashton's was the longest surviving family-owned circus in the western world. "Under the direction of third generation family member Joe Ashton this circus reached its peak in 1937 when it boasted a two-ring tent and seventy staff. There were thirty-two children travelling with the circus at the time, they had their own tutor and a travelling schoolroom" 37.
