As you probably know, you can buy BMD certs from the GRO and from the local office. Some local indices are online, including Oldham. Fortunately, Abraham named one son after his dad (variantly spelled), so he's easy to find:
Lancashire Birth indexes for the years: 1886 Surname Forename(s) Sub-District Registers At Mother's Maiden Name Reference FITTON Ratcliffe Oldham Above Town Oldham JACKSON OAT/116/1
Groom's Name: Abraham Fitton Groom's Age: 19 Bride's Name: Hannah Jackson Bride's Age: 19 Marriage Date: 03 Apr 1878 Marriage Place: Oldham, Lancashire, England Groom's Father's Name: Radcliffe Fitton Bride's Father's Name: John Jackson Groom's Marital Status: Single Bride's Marital Status: Single Indexing Project (Batch) Number: M01090-5 System Origin: England-EASy Source Film Number: 1656159 Reference Number: Reg #255 page128 Collection: England Marriages, 1538–1973
Now we know Hannah's MS=Jackson, we can go some way to sorting out Oldham. We do have to watch out for other Fitton-Jackson marriages:

The Royton events look like they belong to Robert + Elizabeth
B1874q3 FITTON Eliza Royton Oldham JACKSON ROY/24/358 B1878q3 FITTON Lena Royton Oldham JACKSON ROY/27/407 B1881q2 FITTON Alice Royton Oldham JACKSON ROY/30/143 B1886q3 FITTON (boy) Royton Oldham JACKSON ROY/34/409 D1886q3 Fitton Male 0 Oldham 8d 520 [rg11/4094/23/59, rg12/3322/60/61]
Jane(Jone) Ann & George look like they belong to Joseph + Nancy

Now for what's left - we know Benjamin is born in Bolton and a=19 in 1911, so we can stop then [rg11/4068/29/50, rg12/3115/64/17, rg13/3620/119/35] Unfortunately, the local indices for Bolton don't go that far yet. B1891q3 Fitton Ben Bolton 8c 494 B1893q3 Fitton Alice Ann Bolton 8c 470 D1905q2 Fitton Alice Ann 11 Bolton 8c 261 B1896q4 Fitton Elizabeth Bolton 8c 488
1888 is a bit problematic, but checking other births on page resolves it: 1888q1 FITTON Henry Oldham 8d 707 1888q2 FITTON Henry Oldham 8d 657
B1879q2 FITTON Sarah Ann Oldham Above Town Oldham JACKSON OAT/92/492 B1880q4 FITTON Herbert Oldham Below Town Oldham JACKSON OBT/133/385 D1881q4 Fitton Herbert 0 Oldham 8d 378

B1890q2 FITTON Jane Dunkerley Oldham Above Town Oldham JACKSON OAT/129/169
We're also missing Arthur, but he must be
Lancashire Birth indexes for the years: 1877 Surname Forename(s) Sub-District Registers At Mother's Maiden Name Reference 1877 JACKSON Arthur Fitton Oldham Below Town Oldham JACKSON OBT/119/293 B1878q1 Jackson Arthur Fitton Oldham 8d 616
[Incidently, this illustrates that http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/ indexes by date of event, unlike the GRO's date of rego]
Although Abe didn't accompany Hannah to the rego office to acknowledge Art's birth, the LDS pilot site does have:
Name: Arthur Fitton Gender: Male Baptism/Christening Date: 13 Nov 1878 Baptism/Christening Place: Oldham, Lancashire, England Father's Name: Abraham Fitton Mother's Name: Hannah Fitton Indexing Project (Batch) Number: C00941-7 System Origin: England-EASy Source Film Number: 1656223 Reference Number: item 3 p 249 Collection: England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975
So we're left with the problem of Jane Dunkerley Fitton - I don't really know who she belongs to, nor can I find a death for her.
Presumably, she's named after Deb, but I don't know whose tree Deb's in:
Groom's Name: Abraham Dunkerley Bride's Name: Deborah Fitton Marriage Date: 24 Dec 1848 Marriage Place: St. Mary'S, Oldham, Lancashire, England Groom's Father's Name: James Dunkerley Bride's Father's Name: William Fitton Groom's Marital Status: Single Bride's Marital Status: Single Indexing Project (Batch) Number: M00927-6 System Origin: England-EASy Source Film Number: 1656156 Reference Number: it 1 P.123 Collection: England Marriages, 1538–1973

So is this our Arthur, meaning he's recorded twice in 1911?
Incidentally, the baptismal "Notes: P" indicates a private baptism, perhaps explained by:
Births Mar 1903 (>99%) Fitton Albert Bolton 8c 512
Deaths Mar 1903 (>99%) Fitton Albert 0 Bolton 8c 284
