She was originally Patricia June Thubron but changed her name as her acting career took off.
Can anyone please look up to see who her parents were. I think her grandfather was Sidney Thubron but i am having difficulty with which Thubron line she is from.
Many thanks
Gill

Thorburn was born in Karachi, British India. She was the eldest of three children, including her sister Diana and her brother Keith. Her full name was Patricia June Thubron Smith. She spent most of her schooldays in boarding schools in India, since her father was a colonel in the Indian Army and therefore her parents travelled a lot. When he retired from the military, they moved back to Britain.

June began writing plays from about the age of seven. Her grandfather (Sydney Thubron) who had also spent many years in India as a design engineer, building many important bridges, made early 'movies' and she was the star in several, the first being "Her Second Birthday", when she was only two years old

Thank you but I was hoping to find who her parents were. Many thanks for this info. Gill

There is a lot about her if you google June Thorburn

None of her biographies seem to name her parents. Just that her father was a british officer.

You could purchase her birth cert
