I know that practically the only relation ash spawn have to the ash creatures of Dagoth Ur is their name, but it still is a possibiity. Origins of the ash spawn has never been directly explained in Skyrim, only theories... Only thing we are sure about them is that the Red Mountain has something to do with it, most likely acting as their source. For those who do not know, Red Mt. is where you confront Dagoth Ur in TES 3: Morrowind.

I have not made much progress in Morrowind, but this idea seems worthy of discussion.
