Dear Lemon 12,
I may be able to throw some light on your maternal family tree. Frances, Elizabeth Knatchbull was my grandmother and the reason she may never have shown up on the English census is that her father's first name was Tomblyn, who was in an infantry regiment but hated it so he deserted but because he loved horses he joined the Scots Greys and to improve his chances of being accepted he changed his name to Knatchbull, who at the time was the Colonel of the Scots Greys. Frances Knatchbull, I am told, was born in Edinburgh Castle about the 1850s.

Hello HMStew,
Thanks for your help. Sally Redmond was my aunt, who passed away nearly 60 years ago. She did go up to Dublin for long visits to the Lemon family. If you ever get the time to let me have further information that you have on my great grandfather's antecedents I should be grateful to have it. I suppose it must be quite rare for me to go back only four generations and find I am back over 230 years.
                                   Best regards,

Greetings, HMStew,
My great grandmother was Sarah Lemon who gave birth to my grandfather, William Redmond, in 1850 who hailed from Market Hill. As you say, she was married to my great grandfather, John Redmond, born 1780. I am wondering if you have any records that throw light on John Redmond's ancestors. It so happens my grandfather moved to Cork City around 1900 and started an agency for weighing machine specialist, Pooley, subsequently absorbed by W& T Avery.
