Ted was the son of Killough Burford and Louise Lyon.

Ted Burford married Dorothy Tallian, daughter of Edward and Elvira Tallian. She was born 06 February 1946.

Ted and Dorothy had one child, a son, Michael Ted Burford, born 16 February 1972.

I don't have any adult pictures of Ted, and I don't have any pictures of Dorothy or Michael.

Ted and Dorothy and Michael all died when a Navy jet crashed into their apartment building in Alameda, California, 07 February 1973.

They are buried in North Fork Cemetery North Fork, Madera County, California.

(I don't know how his name got translated to Merven -- but the few legal documents I have found on Ted have his first name recorded as Merven. Still, I'm relatively certain he was named after his father -- Killough MARVIN Burford. I don't know if his middle name was actually Ted or something longer, like Theodore. I think his full name was supposed to be Marvin Ted Burford.)

If you want to substantiate or find out more about the crash, you can Google it. There are lots of articles and some videos on the internet about it.
