1$\begingroup$ Bernard reminds me of George Bernard Shaw and Helen reminds me of Helen Keller.... But nothing to connect them $\endgroup$– SidAug 12, 2016 at 17:34

Here goes:
The given names are "nicknames" of cities that hosted the Summer Olympics, and the age is how long ago they hosted
Anthony (96) : Antwerp in 1920
Bernard (80) : Berlin in 1936
Barry (24) : Barcelona in 1992
Melanie (60) : Melbourne in 1956
So Helen is:
Helsinki in 1940, making her 76
And they are a family
in that they are all host cities for the Summer Olympic games
