LEMON
« on: Friday 24 November 06 02:58 UTC (UK) » |

:-\Can anyone shed any light please on the family of John LEMON (b. 1846 cc). All I know about John (according to the 1901 census records) is that he was a farmer, a Presbyterian and head of the family, living at Killycronaghan, Monaghan; he could read and write. I know he married Harriett Anne WILLIAMSON (b. 1850 cc) but nothing else. Parents and siblings for John LEMON would be a great help and much appreciated. Thankyou in anticipation.

Hi Christopher, Thank you very much for having a look at the LEMON people in County Monaghan for me. I can tell you that those who were living at Killycronaghan, Killeevan are definitely my ancestors and I am delighted to have this information. The others may also be related - this is something I must find out. I have also discovered that a lot of my ancestors emigrated to California around this time. Are there any records in Ireland for those who emigrated? I have also been surprised to find that many of my ancestors married first cousins. Was this prevalent in many families? It makes research very confusing as the same family names seem to crop up time and again but with differing time frames. Thank you again for your interest and contact - it is much appreciated. Kind regards, Elizabeth

I am not aware of a Charles LEMON amongst my LEMON ancestors but I have very limited knowledge of the family.

Thank you for your reply. As a matter of interest, did you have any HARBISON/HARBINSON's marry into your LEMON/LEMMON families? I discovered that my families in County Monaghan tended to marry their cousins etc. so that the same family names seem to keep cropping up which can become very confusing. <grin> A lot of the family members seem to have emigrated to California and I did find a lot of information in Ancestry.com 'Family Trees.' However, that does not help much with those who stayed behind in Ireland and those are the people I am now interested in. My John LEMON was supposed to have a father David and I am 'blowed' if I can find any record of him other than on John's Marriage Certificate. Kind regards, Elizabeth (nee Gordon)

I am a newly registered member to this site and was interested in an old photograph hanging on the hall wall of my late mothers home. It appears to be definitely that of John Lemon and a strong possibility of another photo being that of Harriot Williamson (his wife).
I was chatting to a senior relation (98 years) who knew John Lemon in person. I hope to go to Smithborough Presyterian Church to access records to see if I can get any more information.
As I am totally new to trying to access information, you probably know more that myself. I am a great grandson of John Lemon.
Colin

Hi David, I am confident that the record you have listed for Joseph Elliott being married to Isabella LEMON (daughter of William LEMON of Killycronaghan) is my LEMON family. The other item (son born to Robert Williamson and Sarah Jane LEMON) is also of interest as my Gt.Grandfather John LEMON married a Harriet Ann WILLIAMSON. Having already established that there were a lot of 1st cousin marriages at this period of time I have a feeling that these also belong.
I see you have LEMONs in your tree (with a Harbison connection); the Swans are the family I cannot connect with so far! Mr. Colin Fullerton (who has joined this discussion) is also a gt.grandchild of John LEMON and is hoping to get access to some old records in the near future.
John LEMON of Killacronaghan married Harriet Ann WILLIAMSON on 18th January 1867 at Presbyterian Church, Smithboro, Co. Monaghan. His father is given as David LEMON while hers is John Williamson of Listillen; she was just 19 years old. Marriage was 'By Licence' - John Elliott. (interesting!) In presence of Thomas LEMMON and Mary LEMMON. The later two spelled their names with double m's.
At the time of the 1901 census I found a William LEMON (26 yrs old) living with his mother Margaret LEMMON (Widow 75 yrs.) at Killycronaghan.
Do any of these names 'ring a bell' with you in relation to your family? Thank you for making contact again and sharing this data. Kind regards, Elizabeth
