Angela, I think the place to start is with your mum's birth cert to confirm her mother's maiden name if possible.

The marriage of Frank to Melba is on freebmd.org uk, it looks like Melba was born 1925 so would have been very young to have a child in 1941, but I wouldn't discount her. It is just possible that she used the name Hamilton when registering the children rather than her real name if she was not married at that point ( it being war time might mean she was evacuated to family in Yorks?)
