If that's the correct marriage, they are on the 2014 Electoral Roll at an address in Reading.

See Electoral Rolls under "Search" at top right of this page.

The address in question was last sold in June 2014, per Zoopla - I don't know if that was them selling it, or buying it.
It might be worth writing to that address. They may still be there, or new owners may know where they went.

The woman who married Royston had the middle initial E - is that correct for your cousin?
If so, what does the E stand for, and in what year was she born?

The only birth of a June E Payton that I can see (in England, Scotland or Wales ) was in 1971, which obviously isn't hers.


There were these births of girls named June Payton, with no middle initial:

1931 Hendon (mmn Nutt - but she didn't have a grandfather named Fred)

1934 Bristol (mmn Winstone; maternal gr-father Arthur; can't find father's birth or parentage )

1932 West Bromwich (mmn Mainword - can't see parents' marriage)


What was the surname of Fred and your grandfather?

You need to confirm the marriage to ensure that people don’t give you info pertaining to the wrong person

have you looked for info anywhere?

There were three Bright/Payton births in the 1960s - two in Maidenhead, one in Wokingham RDs

The one born in 1965 was probably still living in Reading in 2018 - though there's another person of the same name and age living in Oxfordshire.

The one born in 1967 probably married in 1994, and if so, was living in Basingstoke in 2018.

The eldest (1963) probably married in 1990, then again in 2001.
Living in Hereford in 2003 - but can't see later.

All I know is that my grandfather's brother Fred Payton had a son James Cyril Payton (1904-1993) James and his wife Florence(nee Ellison) had a daughter June E. Payton (I don't know what the E stands for). I knew June when we were both at school at the City of Bath Girls' School but our families were not close so we lost touch. I believe she and Royston had two children Sally Ann b Dec 1963 (Maidenhead 6A 29 and Duncan P born June 1965 (Maidenhead 6A 40). Any information would be appeciated. Thanks.

The 2002 address was sold in November 2013, so it would appear that the 'sale' of the 2014 address was TO the Brights.
