Ashford was born in Birmingham, England in 1746 and arrived in Dublin, Ireland in 1764 at the age of eighteen. Within three years of his arrival, Ashford was exhibiting with the Society of Artists on William Street. At first, he was an amateur painter specialising in flower paintings and still life, but in 1772 he exhibited his first landscape at the Dublin Royal Society of Arts. He turned professional soon after.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=The Berger Collection ) 〕 He spent a year in London (1789–90) where he became a member of the Society of Artists (London).
He was elected President of the Irish Society of Artists in 1813, was a founding member of the Royal Hibernian Academy, becoming its first elected President in 1823.〔() William Ashford at Whyte's: Biographies or Irish Art and Irish Artists.
