Val's full name was Horace Bernard Valentine Dimelow but he was called Val. His parents were Thomas and Margaret (Iles) Dimelow. Val was born in 1897. He was a solicitor. His last firm (from 1951 to 1984) was called HBV Dimelow & Co. He married Enid Claire Blyth (married on October 1, 1924 in Kilda) who died in 1948 (1996 - 1948) and then Norma Betty Taylor-Young who was my mother.
