BURTON family - Victoria

[RSMACL]

Anyone have any connection with Burton family, parents George Alfred Burton b. 1828 St. Pancras, London, England, and wife Elizabeth Jane Jenner, b. 1831 Chatham, Kent, with large family of 12 children, most of whom were born near Ballarat. between 1854 and 1871.   My grandmother was Ruth Burton b. 1864 Warren Heip, married to James Pretty (b. 1855 Buriton, Hampshire, England) on  25 Dec. 1888 in Lilydale.    James owned a store in Seymour "The Melbourne Cash Trading Co." in partnership with his brother-in-law John Alfred Burton, around 1901 to 1902.  Ruth Burton died two weeks after birth of her only son in April 1901.  Store Partnership dissolved in Nov. 1902, James Pretty continued on in store now named "Railway Stores" until abt. 1907.  Then moved with his only son James Alfred Burton PRETTY to Portarlington, when he also owned a store in Newnam Street.   
Brother of Ruth - Ebenezer Burton, b. 1871 owned Funeral Parlours in Lilydale, and died there in 1950. Have no details of his family - other than he had a son Geoff. whose wife was named Sadie.    Anyone help?  Ruth MacLeod (nee Pretty) in Frankston.

Thanks for your prompt reply.  That has solved some of my curly ones. 
 Are you related at all to the Burtons?  I wonder how George, William, etc. are connected to Ebenezer?  Your indexes for rolls indicate they were all living at same address, with same occupation - coach builder.  Can you help further?  Thanks, Ruth

[RSMACL]

Sorry, further query.  Do you have any knowledge of JOHN ALFRED BURTON (youngest brother of Ebenezer ) b. 1878 in Charlton,  and known to be in partnership in General Store in Seymour in 1901-2.  I think he died around 1943.  Ruth

George Alfred with wife Elizabeth on the 1903 would to be the parents to William and Ebenezer.  The address Lilydale probably only refers to the town not necessarily in the same house.  No way of identifying that.

Hi,
If you have not already done so, you may like to browse these pages of Lilydale and district cemeteries.

I see a few of your names there.

A bit of an annoying search site though, as no details other than location are given and even their map link is broken.

Ebenezer Burton, b. 1871 owned Funeral Parlours in Lilydale, and died there in 1950. Have no details of his family  RUTH
