Siblings Ian, Wyn, Morwenna (Wenna) and Nancy Burton from Pennal.

'Ian Burton was born on 3 September 1915 in Pennal, Meirionethshire, the second of four children of Peter Jones Burton (1883-1956), a stonemason, and his wife Margaret (née Latham, b. 1878). He first language was Welsh, and he spoke little English in his early years. He attended the village school, before passing the scholarship examination to go to Tywyn Grammar School. Following a dispute with the rector over church cleaning, his mother decided to attend the Congregational chapel rather than the church, except when her family were visiting. Burton commented, 'I must say I hated the long dreary services of the chapel and loved the beauty and mystery of the Church.'' -- Ruth Gooding
