it all looks a distinct possibility.
But Hugh and Catherine are never called Daniel and Kathleen anywhere other than in Agnes's marriage and death records.
The death record info could be just what Margaret had taken from the marriage cert, of course, or what she'd been told.

Hugh and Catherine must have split up 1881-91, as Hugh's calling himself a widower in 1891, but Catherine's still with the children.
Of course, it could be a mistranscription.
I don't see Hugh's birth.

It could be a possibility, AQ, though she certainly did make herself quite a bit younger, if so.
This is the only Agnes Lemon birth in Stirlingshire, so I suppose this is Hugh and Catherine's daughter:

Thanks for your help. I'll look into that.
EDIT:
And thanks to you too, safc - just noticed your post!

I'm thinking it is the correct family. In 1911 an Agnes Lemon aged 28 is a domestic servant in the Robertson household in Townhead, Glasgow. She was born Denny Stirling.

Haven't much time but wondered if you'd looked into this family -I know father is Hugh, but some details fit:- Hugh was a coachman. Kathleen/ Catherine often interchangeable and Catherine's maiden name was Cowan.

I wonder if anyone can throw any light on the origins of this young woman, please.
*******PLEASE NOTE - I know all about her husband George and his family (from Fife), so please don't spend time on him. It's only Agnes I want to know about.
In 1912, aged 27, a domestic servant, she married George Braid, surfaceman, bachelor:
BRAID
GEORGE
LEMON
AGNES
1912
331/ 3
Balquhidder
Her parents are stated to be Daniel Lemon, coachman, and Kathleen Lemon nee Cowan. Presumably they were alive, as not stated to be deceased.
The witnesses are Duncan Macnab and Maggie Macgregor - not known to be relatives of either George or Agnes; probably just work colleagues or friends.
At the time of her marriage her address was The Hotel, Lochearnhead. I assume she was a hotel employee, and therefore she could have been born anywhere.
George at that time was a surfaceman (railways), and I imagine they met when he went to the hotel public bar after work.
George was killed in WW1, in 1916.
Agnes died in Duror, Argyll, in 1923.
BRAID
AGNES
35
1923
525/5 1
Duror
Death cert says:
Agnes Braid, widow of George Braid, Private, 1st Black Watch.
Age 35.
Died April 11th 1923, at 11am, at Duror Post Office.
Usual residence: Railway Cottage, Duror.
Father: Daniel Lemon, coachman, deceased.
Mother: Kathleen Lemon, ms Cowan, deceased.
Cause of death: Sudden death. No medical attendant.
Informant: Margaret A Thornton, sister-in-law, 22 Queen Street, Edinburgh.
Margaret Thornton is George's sister Margaret Ann Braid - as already said, I know all about the Braid family, so please ignore Margaret.
George's name is on the Duror War Memorial, so they must have been living there before he died - so they moved there between 1912 and 1916.
As Agnes's address was Railway Cottage, George had probably still been working on the railways until he joined up.
[ EDIT: Yes, I've found he was employed by the Callander & Oban Railway.]
I can't find any sign of Agnes's parents - not marriage or deaths, nor in censuses.
I wondered if Agnes might have been Irish. There's this one:
Agnes Lemon
in the Web: Ireland, Census, 1911
Name: Agnes Lemon
Gender: Female
Age: 23
Birth Year: abt 1888
Relation to Head: Head
Residence Date: 2 Apr 1911
Townland/Street: Mossvale Street
District: Shankill
County: Antrim
Household Members:
Name Age
Agnes Lemon 23 - head, single , Antrim.
Bella Lemon 21 - sister, single, Antrim
However, I think this is probably that Agnes's birth - though I don't see her sister's birth:
SR District/Reg Area - Belfast
Birth of AGNES LEMON in 1888
Name AGNES LEMON
Date of Birth 1888
Group Registration ID 8945043
SR District/Reg Area Belfast
Parents: James and Eliza.
Any bright ideas welcome!
I'll look back later.
Thanks in advance.
