Possible marriage for the brother of John - Robert J Lemon
Registration Quarter: Jan-Feb-Mar 1951 - Salisbury Wiltshire
Spouse Florence G Edwardes Or Bradbeer
Volume Number 7c - Page Number 1246
Sandra, I'm not sure that marriage is correct, it's for a Robert
J Lemon. As you've noted the likely brother of John was a Robert
F, and the GRO's index gives his middle name as Frampton.
I think there's another possible marriage, of which there looks to have been one child, born in 1949.

https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C9449505There's a newspaper reference to John's unfortunate death but no mention of his family. I couldn't find any other newspaper references for the family but I'll carry on looking.

Killed In Practice
During firing practice, Lieut. J A Lemon (21), Royal Artillery, of Harnham, near Salisbury, was shot in the head from a rifle and died in hospital at Scarborough.
The coroner (Mr C Royle), who yesterday recorded a verdict of accidental death, said it appeared that Lemon got in the line of fire under the impression that the practice was completed.
EDIT:
There are probate records for both Judith and Robert.
