Their children were: Florence Emily 1905, Ernest Frank 1906, Winifred Gladys 1909, Anna Mildred 1910, Hilda May 1912 - all born in Norwich.This family left England c:1910-1912 and emigrated to Toronto / Vancouver, Canada where their surname was changed from FITT to BURTON and two more daughters were born - Irene 1917 and Doris 1919.
Several years later Ernest William Burton (aka Fitt)fathered a further eight children with another partner in the Toronto / Vancouver areas.
