Denis was the sixth of nine children of George Joseph Tite (born 1874 in Staffordshire, England) and Mary Kenny (born 1879 in Lanarkshire, Scotland). George immigrated with his parents and siblings in 1884, arriving in Brisbane, QLD on board the Quetta. Mary immigrated with her parents in 1886, arriving in Brisbane, QLD on board the New Guinea. George was a Miner in Howard, Wide Bay in QLD when he married Mary in 1900. The family moved to Bundanba in Ipswich, QLD in the early 1900s, where George was a Coal Miner.
