My grandmother was stopped by a lady when she took my mother for her weigh-in as a baby.
She was asked if they had a Melton Mowbray connection, the lady had noticed that my mothers 2nd and 3rd toes are webbed.
Does anyone else have this connection?

I know a family who have some members with webbed toes - but they're not from Melton Mowbray.
They've lived in the same village for generations - which is perhaps why they have the tendency!!!

My ex-husband had webbed toes - the 2nd & 3rd. No Melton Mowbray connection though.

I had a colleague at work with webbed toes... and his little boy, brother and father did too... he came from a long line of Forest of Deaners, though, not Melton Mowbray, and reckoned that he had cousins, uncles, aunts and at least one of his grandparents with it.......

No Melton Mowbray connection, though!
