LEMON

[elizabeth3]

 :-\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

Is there a Charles in your Lemons circa 1914?

[elizabeth3]

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

And me with mine!


Don't forget everything was hand wriitn in those days, then transcribed by someone else who may have to "decipher" the writing..

Found one of my ancesters who lived at Rowantree, at Roulantree and Rowanbree!!

So it's just a guessing game, try Lemmon etc.......

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)

Some of my lot... Halls and Swan/Swanns  came from Kileevan, Tedavnet and Shankill !!


My 4 Aunts were Swan, but some of them signed their name Swann, what a waste of ink!! .

So of my Swans flew away!!


Mine were C of I, Prebyterians...
