Phyllis was baptised at North Sydney and Charlotte Morrow was thought to be her godmother.
She and her brother Norman lived with their parents at Caroona in North Western New South Wales. Their home was on the opposite side of the Mooki River to Walhollow Station. Her father was a station hand and her mother cooked for the station jackaroos who lived in a room at the back of their house. When she was 8 years old the family moved to 300 Trafalgar St Annandale, above the general store that was run by her parents. She went to North Annandale Primary school and her local church was St Aidans Church of England on the corner of Johnston and Booth Streets. Her mother died not long after they moved to the shop. Her father then married Queenie Jenkins who was a family friend. When Phyllis was 12 years old and still lived in the shop at Annandale, her father died. Some time after that Queenie, Phyllis and bother Norman moved to Forsyth Street Meadowbank.
When William Edwin Whitton died William (Charles) Bailey wrote to Mrs Queenie Estelle Whitton saying that he would take Phyllis and Norman if Mrs Queenie Whitton would pay a boat fare and put them on a boat to England. Mrs Queenie Whitton decided that she would look after Phyllis and Norman and keep them in Australia.
Phyllis used to ride her bike from Forsyth Street to Top Ryde and leave her bike at her Aunty Sylvia's home and then catch a tram to Huntley's Point and go to Riverside Domestic Girls High School. She left school after doing the Intermediate Certificate. (Third year of high school)
Phyllis was confirmed at St Anne's C of E Ryde on Sunday 2 August 1942.
Phyllis was a dressmaker at La Belle until she married Doug Spalding in 1945. The "La Belle" girls with whom she worked with in the dressmaking business became lifelong friends. After a short period in Forsyth Street Meadowbank. Phyllis lived in the family home at 2 Murray Street, West Ryde until 2002 when she moved to Alan Walker Village at Carlingford.
On Thursday 21 September 2006 she had a stroke. After showing reasonable signs of recovery she had a second stroke on Tuesday 3 October while still in hospital. She never recovered mental or physical capability and died Saturday 28 October 2006 at Ryde Hospital.
The name Whitton dates to the earliest periods of English history. It is Anglo-Saxan and derived from several places called Whitton. The Ang.Sas. form Hwit-tun, means white farm or hamlet. It is the place name of several locations in Lincoln, Durham, Hereford, Northumberland, Salop and Suffolk. Whittons were also found in Scotland in Morebattle Parish, Roxburyshire and throughout the British Isles. Whittons were neither nobility nor peasant, but from the Yoeman class.
Phyllis' father came from Yorkshire and the family spent more than 300 years in the Bedale area.

In the 1922 Electoral Role she was listed as living in the home of Dr and Mrs Bowker of Drumalby Rd Bellevue Hill. In 1921 Grace Bailey was also listed at that address and Queenie obviously became friendly with Grace.
It is understood that Queenie visited her friend Grace Whitton at Walhollow station in northern western NSW in about 1930. Phyllis Whitton, Grace's daughter, advised that Grace had asked Queenie to look after the children if anything happened to her.
In the 1930 Electoral Roll for Wentworth, Bellevue Hill, Queenie Jenkins was still living at Belwood, Drumalby Road, doing home duties.
Queenie also worked as a cleaner in the NSW Railways and did housework for a Mrs Walker at Beecroft in NSW. Queenie is also thought to have paid for much of her step sister, Heather's, education, school clothes as her mother Lilly(Susan) Jenkins was a widow.
Marriage: NSW BDM 16980/1935 WHITTON WILLIAM E JENKINS QUEENIE E R ANNANDALE
After Grace Whitton's death in 1934 Queenie married the elderly William Whitton in order to comply with her agreement to look after the children if anything happened to Grace. William then died in 1937 leaving Queenie alone with the children (Phyllis and Norman). Phyllis recalls that after her father's death a relative from England (probably Charles William Bailey - Grace's brother) wrote to Queenie and suggested that the children be put on board a ship for Portsmouth and he would look after them. Queenie decided to look after the children herself.
Queenie looked after Phyllis and Norman Whitton as if she was their mother. She became affectionately known as Granny Whit to her grandchildren.
Queenie lived in Forsyth St Ryde NSW with Phyllis and Norman. In about 1945 Queenie's mother Lilly(Susan) Jenkins also lived with her. In her later years Queenie moved to the St Anne's Court retirement village in Ryde NSW and later to Mowll Village.
