This looks like the Thomas Owens Lemon on the 1911 census, as listed in Thom's 1894 in connection with the Lemon business in Lwr Sackville St :
   Thomas Lemon, Castle Avenue, Clontarf

He states his occupation as 'Managing Director Limited Company'. Castle Ave is not far from his Vernon Parade residence given in 1894.

and following on from the Castle Ave., clue Thom's 1904 shows :

 2 Castle Ave, Clontarf
   Dr. Wm. R. Lemon
   Mrs. Maxwell Lemon

looks like this Mrs. Maxwell Lemon might be same one as mentioned in my 1st Reply to this post.

The Sackville st business is still listed as a limited Company but no names are mentioned. Other Lemon listings are mentioned in the index that seem to be connected :

  Miss Lemon, 14 Nassau st, res 2 Castle Ave
  Mrs. Maxwell Lemon, confectioner, 14 Nassau st, res 2 Castle Ave
  W.R. Lemon, physician & surgeon, 14 Nassau st, res 2 Castle Ave
  Thomas O. Lemon esq., 1 Castle Ave

there are also three other Lemon listings that dont appear to be connected in the South Dublin area.

Afraid I still can't see a connection from William Henry Graham-Lemon who married and had children in Newry Co.Down to a confectionary business in Dublin 

[shanew147]

there's a possible Northern Ireland connection with the Doctor William Redmond Lemon on the census, living beside the other Lemon family... he gives his birth place as Co. Armagh.

See : #43 Castle Avenue, Clontarf
