I think it's probably not the same family. The Lemmons I am connected to lived in Lennox and Addington County until the 20th century. I'm not sure exactly how old my father's cousin was, although her parents were married in 1900, but it was she and her husband who moved to Toronto, so I'm guessing it was somewhere in the 1920's or more likely the 1930's, since I know most of the houses in her neighbourhood were built then. It's great that you found them just by calling. I actually received one over 25 years ago from a researcher looking for information on my father's family, and was able to put her in touch with the two family members who knew the most about the family background and where (literally) all the bodies were buried. -- Jane
