Family
[edit]He was the eldest, and illegitimate, son of the gunpowder-manufacturer William Ford Burton (1784 – 1856): who was the eldest son of the pre-eminent London property developer James Burton.[1][2][3][4][5] Henry Marley Burton had one brother who was William Warwick Burton (d. 21 October 1861),[6][7][8] who resided at Lincoln's Inn Fields where he was articled as a solicitor to his uncle Septimus Burton (1794 – 1842). William Warwick Burton had three children: William Edgar Burton, Edmund Burton, and Jessy Burton:[9] each of whom were left property by the will of their uncle Decimus Burton who did not ever marry nor have issue.[6]
Henry Marley Burton was baptized as Henry Marley on 12 December 1821: when he was claimed to be the son of William Marley by Sally Marley, who were neighbours of the Burtons.[6]
Architect
[edit]Henry Marley Burton was trained in the office of his uncle Decimus Burton,[3] whose practice he inherited when Decimus retired, in 1869, after they had trained the architect Edward John May FRIBA.[10][4][5] In 1866, Henry Marley was commissioned by John George Dodson, 1st Baron Monk Bretton to design a mansion at Coneyborough, after Decimus had designed Bineham in Chailey for Dodson's brother-in-law John George Blencowe.[11] He supervised the construction of additions to the Oriental Club, which were designed by Decimus Burton in 1853, when it eventually commenced in 1871.[12]
Henry Marley's residence was 14 Spring Gardens, St James's.[3] He was also a Captain in the Queen's (Westminster) Rifle Corps.[13] Henry Marley Burton died in 1880.[14] Henry Marley's son Edgar Burton also became an architect.[1] Edgar Burton's daughter, Adelaide Veronica Elizabeth Burton, was abortively married, at St. George's, Hanover Square, to Leopold Albu, of 4 Hamilton Place, Mayfair, who was the brother of Sir George Albu, between 19 August 1901 and 1915.[15]
