Hello so I got an extract of William's death certificate from Nov 1919 and it says all five children still alive including Alfred who is 51 years old. Take Care Lynette

Lyn,
Is the John BURTON on the 1932 Electoral Roll living at Whittlesea yours?
A fruit-grower. Is that correct?

Is this kind of agricultural work what the family mostly did?

It's just that it might help with all the Alfred BURTONs if there was a little hint to work on

Hello yes John was my Great Grandfather Alfred's brother he lived at Kinglake West which is on the roll as Whittlesea. He died in Aug 1934 and is buried at Yan Yean Cemetery. There is also a William who died at Healesville Victoria Nov 1924. A sister Sarah Ann Fairbarn who died 1953 Preston Victoria  and a sister Eliza Caldwell who died 12 May 1948 and is buried at Albury Pioneer Cemetery. The only thing I have to go on if it is right is a notice on Trove 1948 for Eliza Caldwell that mentions one sister living. Take Care Lynette

Thanks for your reply, but are you able to answer my question above?
What do you know of the occupations of the men in this family?

Hi,
Can't help much with tracking Alfred, but it seems he was dead by 1948 when his Sister Eliza CALDWELL died.

 Her 1948 death notice says-
 ...survived by ...... and an older sister Mrs Ann FAIRBAIRN of Preston.....

May or may not be correct information of course.

This funeral notice for William BURTON jnr states Healesville Cemetery.  The cemetery staff, I am sure will assist with whatever omission or error has occurred on their online register.

Amelia is, as you say, buried at Box Hill Cemetery where she is located with a chap with whom she shared an address from at least 1931.
He was born in 1882

Hello Sue thank you for that I had not seen the notice on Trove for William and the information on Amelia. Alfred will have to go on the back burner for a while thank you for your help Take Care Lynette
