William Lemon married Dora(from NY)  in 1886, he owned a Lemon Drop Factory in Dublin.  he died sometime before 1904 in Ireland.  Any information would be appreciated.

1894 Thom's Directory of Dublin lists two W. Lemons, but neither in the business type you mentioned :

   William Lemon esq., 31 Grosnover Rd, Rathmines
   Mr. W.R. Lemon, 5 Seville place
   
there's also

   Maxwell Lemon, confectioner, 14 Nassau Street
   Lemon & Co., wholesale confectioners, 30 Bachelors Walk

In the 1904 edition the Bachelors Walk business is not listed, and the entry at Nassau St the business owner is shown as Mrs Maxwell Lemon. The trades index shows this same address as Miss Lemon with a residence at Castle Ave, Clontarf

I dont see a listing for a death of a William Lemon in Dublin around the right time.

Is this the same Lemon family as mentioned in your other post on the Cork board ? (see :  Dora Lemon )

I was told originally that we were from county cork.  Found out about Dublin, hence I posted on Dublin.
Since then have found out that:  Dora (maiden name unknown) was born in NYC to a german father and Irish Mother both unknown.  William came to the US met Dora and took her back to Ireland.  When he died she brings herself and kids to NY in 1904 on Etruria.  I do not have a dod for William I only got Dora thru her kids here in the US.  I know they were married in 1886 from other family members. 
Thanks for all your kind posts..

Dear Lemon C

If this is the right Lemon then older Dubliners would be familiar with the advert. in Saturday night's newspapers..

   If this is Saturday, I must not forget my Lemons Pure Sweets

Lemon Street was named after Graham Lemon (Confectioner) and was formerly called Little Grafton Street.

Come back if you think that  I have the right connection.
