Stanley served in the RAF during WW2. The Burtons were philanthropic and in Leeds there is a gallery and a theatre named "Stanley & Audrey Burton" so we think he may have married an Audrey. We can't find a picture of an adult Stanley so here's his travelling case instead. See Arnold for a photo of the 4 Burton children and details of this family.
