The Burton Family Of Brisbane

The Burton Family Of Brisbane

Surnames: Burton Fowkes Coulter
Hello, I was wondering whether anyone might have any information pertaining to Mr. Frederick George Burton (1876-1935) and his wife Alice (1874-1950)(nee Coulter then Fowkes).

Alice was my great grand aunt who emigrated from East London, England to Brisbane, Australia in 1908 after the tragic death of her first husband Edward Fowkes and child Grace.

She married Frederick George Burton in 1909, and they went on to have three children; Frederick Stanley Burton (1911), Eric George Burton (1915), and Evelyn Myrtle Alice Burton (1918).

Alice died in 1950 and is buried in Toowong Cemetery, Brisbane. At the time her son Frederick Stanley was living in Radcliffe Road, Scarborough.

Many thanks for looking at my post, any help with tracking down the Burtons would be most graciously received. - John

Hi
I'm not related.

I found this and have no idea if it relates to your Eric George but worth a look it came from
http://www.covingtonhistory.co.uk/CovhistoryS.htm

SHIRLEY ESTELLE COVINGTON. Ref: 12427. Born: 28 Feb 1944 at Scotland. Father: Haroild Reginald, Father Ref: 1216. Mother: Campbell, Estelle Emily, Mother Ref: 12426. Mar: around 1966 at Australia to Carmichael . Recorded as emigrating from London to Brisbane with Mother in 1950. Was ultimately adopted by Eric George Burton of Brisbane, Australia after his marriage to her mother Estelle Emily.

Possible deaths for Eric George Burton from The Greater Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust in Vic

Healesville Cemetery [HV] PL F-Row F Burton Eric George Birth 31 Mar 1915

and from the Ryerson Index a possible match in regard to probate
BURTON Eric George Probate notice 18AUG1988 Publication late of 'Hill Side Lodge', Main Creek The Age (Melbourne) 18AUG1988
The Public Record Office Victoria (PROV) has a will and probate administration which can be ordered and viewed in the rooms if this is your Eric Burton.

In regard to Evelyn Myrtle Alice Burton I have found an Evelyn Myrtle Alice HOGER in the electoral rolls and listed with her is Colin Stanley Hoger. She may be your Evelyn.

From the Ryerson Index

No having much luck with Frederick Stanley Burton though. Will keep looking.
