Title: Dora Lemon
Post by: LemonChichester on Thursday 18 March 10 02:39 GMT (UK)
I am looking for the husband of a Mrs. Dora Lemon born about 1869 she left Ireland on the Etruria in 1904.  She was widowed and I am looking to continue my tree but dead end on her husband.

Is Lemon Dora's married or maiden name ?

There are a few Lemon Birth and one Marriages in Co. Cork on the Irish Civil BMD Index (http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=2;t=searchable;c=1408347l) - but nothing that fits Dora..

The one marriage is -

 Name: George Lemon
 Registration district: Cork
 Record type: Marriage
 quarter and year: Jul - Sep 1886
 Volume: 5 / Page: 52

possibly a little early to be Dora's husband..she would have been about 17 at the time

I'd say the next step is to order the marriage cert based on the details above - you will be able to confirm this George Lemon married someone named Dora.

The cert will also give you the bride's maiden, the names of their fathers etc which will help your search for George. see - Details included on a Marriage Cert (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,433042.0.html) and Ordering Certs from GRO Roscommon (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,433040.0.html)

There does not seem to be a good match for George's birth... he may have been born before civil registration started in 1864. Maybe the marriage cert will give some ideas as to where to look next..

Guys,

This is them. I checked the Records for the Eurtia ship (1904) and this is what it states:

Mrs Isabella Lemon, 25 Married with child Mollie Lemon aged 3.
Mrs Dora Lemon.... marital status is Married and not Widowed, Nationality USA (place of last permanence residence). but race Irish
Gladys Lemon, aged 1 year and 8 months
Dorothy Lemon, aged 3 years
Nora Lemon, aged 14 years
Evelyn aged 16 years
Charles H Lemon, 15 years.

So we have the correct family here from Newry and looks like here name is Dora Ross. Interesting enough she doesn't state she is widowed and secondly she must have been living in the states previously.

But we can see he died in Kilkeel, Co Down in 1904

Blimey! that is them!!!! WOW!!!
THANK YOU! yes I know caps means screaming that is because I am.
Yes she was born in the US to a german father and Irish mother
she met William her husband in US and he took her back to Ireland.
Supposedly, the reason she left Ireland in 1904 was he died.  However,
if you see it listed as married maybe something else going on.
I know in the US census of 1910 she is listed as widowed.

 However, I can't see a marriage for Graham Lemon and Mary Barkley on either LDS site or LDS Pilot site.

Hello,

My name is Graham William Lemon. I am told that I am the 5th generation Graham Lemon of the founder of Lemon's Pure Sweets in Dublin. I am the  son of William Diamond Lemon born in Dublin in 1932 and moved to London in 1958. He had a brother Arthur George Lemon who became a headmaster in a school in Donegal. They had an older sister called Eileen who became a nurse, married and emigrated to Vancover Island in Canada.  The records may be a bit blurred due to the fact that my dad was the youngest of the 3 children and there farther (George Graham Lemon, I believe) died of a "bad liver "when my dad (William Diamond Lemon) was 9 and there mother (I believe called Evelyn) when he was 13. This obviously coinsided with the end of the 2nd world war and ment that sugar was in very short supply so the sweet factory had supply problems.  They lived in a house in Lansdown Road Dublin which they kept after the parents died. There farther did not work and had various hobbies based around engineering, steam and car engines. He owned many cars and a couple of steam engines and left the family business in a total mess regarding continuity.  The Sweet Factory which made the "my lady" branded pick and mix for Woolworth's fell into the hands of Tate and Lyle sugar. They subsequently sold it on to Barker and Dobsons  which in turn was taken over by a Japanese investment company in the 1980S . Hence the closing of the shop in 84.  If any of the above is relevant to you then please reply so that we can get in touch.

Best Regards

Yes, I believe that Graham was the brother to my William.  Rumors have always floated around that we could be heirs to a candy factory in Ireland.  Sorry not quicker on the reply, death in my family kinda off kilter the last couple of months.
