The "Ashfield streets" (Ashfield Court / Crescent / Drive / Gardens) would appear to be named after Ashfield estate which is shown on the OSNI Historical Second Edition (1846 - 1862).
"DESIRABLE INVESTMENT. To be Sold by Private CONTRACT, ASHFIELD HOUSE, Offices, Garden, and Grounds, situate on the Antrim and Skegoneill Roads, containing about 5½ acres, as at present in the possession of Mr. Thomas M'Clelland, Solicitor, held for Ever, at the yearly rent of £80.

(Northern Whig - Tuesday 04 March 1879).
"With reference to the communications dated 24th ult., and 18th inst., from Mr. R. McConnell, 2 Skegoniel Parade, on behalf of the tenants of houses in Skegoniel Parade to have another name given to that thoroughfare, the Assistant City Surveyor reported that the Housing Committee offered no objection to the proposal to change the name to Ashfield Gardens.
Resolved - That the change of name be approved". (28th April 1925).
Note the name Ashfield has been used elsewhere in Belfast, e.g. Ashfield House on Ravenhill Road and Ashfield Street off Castlereagh Road, neither of which still exist.
