Note	The 1891 census finds James Burton living with his wife Mary Jane and his children in Lancashire. His son Myles (my grandfather) arrived in 1885 and in 1886, he is found on the passenger list with his wife and children on the way to Chile. He hoped to make his fortune there, but due to it being an earthquake zone the family returned to Ulverstone, whilst he made his way to Australia, still looking for a fortune either mining or keeping cows. His wife and children were destined to the workhouse on their return to Ulverstone, with no means of income for the family. The family legend is that his wife was found guilty of running a bawdy house (brothel). So the 1901 cansus finds the children on their own in the workhouse. Annie the eldest acts as a parent to the younger ones. Myles married in 1916 in Plymouth, but following the end of WW1, when Myles served in the medical corps, he joined the merchant navy as a shipwright, in the hope of finding his father. He found him in Tasmania, where James died, but no fortune was made! Myles later returned to Plymouth and his wife and daughter (my mother). Myles gained employment at Devonport dockyard as a shipwright after his return and was an active trade Unionist. However it is not known where he was for about 11 years. He said that he manned machine guns at Barrow in furness, during the Great Strike. So presumably he lived locally during that time. In his 60's he left his wife again and set up a model boat shop on the Barbican at Plymouth. (He said that he wanted to die in peace.
