Sue, I've had a look at what Ancestry might have for your grandfather, and the results are not encouraging I'm afraid.
No birth registration appears for Ernest James Fitzpatrick. I attempted the searches several ways. Only one Fitzpatrick was registered as being born in York Co during all of 1889, and that was a Thomas Henry Fitzpatrick, born in April.
A search based on solely a match to either/both parents' names (regardless of the newborn's name), still produced no results. (Such a search can sometimes work-around mistranscriptions of the original record.)
I also had a look at the 1891 census returns for Toronto. The youngest Fitzpatrick listed in the 1891 census out of Toronto was a 5 year old girl. Of the total of 36 people named Fitzpatrick listed in Toronto in the 1891 census, no one had any of the names Fred/Frederick, Frances, or Ernest. One James appears, but he is a married adult, born in England.
It remains possible that some mis-transcriptions are obscuring information on your family in this time period, however the fact that neither birth registrations nor the 1891 census gives any hint of them, seems discouraging.
I'm sorry I wasn't able to locate something for you this evening.

Sue, if your ancestor was in Ontario then you should be able to find him in census - 1891 for example. Or at least find his parents (1881, 1891 etc)
His birth might be registered, it was the law but many did not bother. Especially the Catholics, they tended often to just baptise in a church and not bother with civil registration
Have you gone to Ancestry? They have all the Ontario records
