Sad Passing of Barbara Lemon
My Mother and I have just heard the news of the passing of Barbara Lemon who wrote the "Lemon book of 160 years in Australia.".
Mum and Barbara have for many years worked together updating the Lemon family history. Part of the early history of William Lemon was written by Barbara, we will continue searching until we find William Lemon's parents.

William's Application for Marriage
William asked for consent from the Governor to marry Mary Catherine Connors on 21st April 1835. Catherine was an 18 year old Convict girl who arrived in the Colony in 1833 on the ship the "Caroline". Permission for the marriage was granted however, the marriage never took place.
On 1st February 1845 William was granted his official pardon number 45/147. William's conditional pardon meant that his sentence had been granted on the condition that he did not return to his home Country.
William again applied to marry this time to Ann Drisdale aka Driscoll, she was 30 years of age and came from Cork in Ireland. The marriage took place at St Peters C of E at Campbelltown 16th August 1835. Their first children were twins John & Jane, they were born November 1836. Jane died 27th Jnauary 1837 & John died February 1837. Their next child Anne was born Feb 1838, William followed in 1840, John James March 1834, all born at Campbelltown. Ann died 18th March 1865 and is buried at St Johns Catholic Church Campbelltown.
Daughter Ann married Henry Holt 26th January 1858 at Campbelltown, the first 6 of their children were born there whilst the remaining 6 were born at Nubba.
After Ann died William moved to Nubba to be near his family.He died on 3rd July 1876 and as far as we know is buried in an unmarked grave in Murrumburrah.
From this family that started out from convict stock we have people from all walks of life many of whom have made valuable contributions to our society. William Lemons great grandson Harold Holt became Prime Minister of Australia from January 1966 until his untimely disappearance on 17th December 1967 off Portsea in Melbourne.
