NotesA birth registration was found for Edward Charles Burton; Year of Registration: 1894; Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun; District: St Saviour Southwark; County: London, Surrey; Volume: 1d; Page: 34.

In 1901, Edward Burton, 7 years of age, and Arthur Burton, 5 years of age, were shown as boarders, residing in the home of John Webb, 49, and Sarah A. Webb, 49, at Baptist Chapel Lane, Drayton Parslow, Buckinghamshire, England. The nephew of the couple, Frederick Pitre, 7, was also residing in the home. (Source: 1901 Census of England; Class: RG13; Piece: 1358; Folio: 113; Page: 1.)

In 1905, the Kensington docked at Halifax, then Portland, where 269 boys, including Arthur Fr. Th. Burton, 8, and his brother Edward Charles Burton, 9, disembarked. The original list was lost and a list prepared in 1934 appears on the reel.

In 1911, Edward Burton, 17, was shown as an employee / labourer on farm of William Snell and family in Usborne, Huron South, Ontario, Canada. His date of birth was shown as April, 1894, and his immigration year as 1905.

On June 8, 1916, Edward Charles Thomas Burton enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces. He declared that he resided at 1035 Pender Street West, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada; that he was born in London, England; that his next of kin was his brother, Arthur Burton, who was a soldier in the 91st O/S Battalion, O.E.F. St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada (EDITORS NOTE: Another name, Weslie Johns, of Ontario, a farmer / friend, was added as next kin, probably due to the death in January 1917 of Private Arthur Burton in France); that he was born April 28, 1894; that he was not married; and that he was a labourer. He was described as 5 foot 7-1/2 inches in height; clear complexion; brown eyes; and black hair. He was a member of the Presbyterian faith.
