THE MELTON FAMILY WEB PAGES/THEN AND NOW

Next Family Line

THEN AND NOW

Next in our father to father line we introduce the Sons of Ted and Hilda.
Tony, Derek, Roy, and Ivan.

We also show some great photographs to display a Then and Now page of pictures.

An interesting point to make at this stage is that two brothers: Derek and Roy, married two Sisters: Pauline and Linda nee Wilkin.
Interestingly we know this has happened once before in the family for definate and we are investigating a possible third time too.
This is where family research becomes quite complicated.

We start with these very rare photographs of all four of Ted and Hilda's sons together.


In the photograph on the left and from left to right: Ivan, Tony (deceased), Derek and Roy.

To continue with our Father to Father information here is our father Derek Melton.
Derek was born in Norwich on the 20th July 1942.
The Second Son of Ted and Hilda, Derek has lived all his life in Norwich just like his Brothers also have.


Derek married Pauline Wilkin on 27th July 1963. Derek and Pauline have two Sons Carl (me) and Paul.

This Photograph below was recently the subject of an article in the Norwich Evening News.
The article was submitted to the Newspaper by myself and was about the old Maypole dairy Stores that was situated on Gentlemans Walk in Norwich
The Maypole has since long gone but it was the first ever self service store in Norwich and was Derek's first employment.
Look to the far right of the photograph, see the handsome chap standing?
yes thats the one, One Derek Melton no less.

As we Mentioned earlier on this page, Two Brothers Married two Sisters.
