New York gangs film fires controversy
2003
Overview
Herbert Asbury, author of the book Gangs of New York, claimed to be descended from an alleged half-brother of Methodist Bishop Francis Asbury, who grew up in Great Barr. Websites about the film and Herbert Asbury, who died in 1963, are now repeating the family link and Fran Carle, Herbert's American niece, is bringing out a book supporting the claim. He went on: 'Herbert claimed that the Bishop's father, Joseph Asbury, had fathered a child, Thomas, with a first wife, Susan Whipple. It is alleged that Francis's mother, [Elizabeth Windsor], was Joseph's second wife, but this has never been proved.
