I have a James Lever 1809 who I think married Eliza Hesketh
Now I am pretty sure this is right and I have been told they went onto have a child called William who had links with the Lever brothers.

Can some check this as I am getting myself in a pickle.I believe James's Mother was Elizabeth Parkinson and his father James Lever

Have I got myself in a mess or am I right

Where in Lancashire - sorry to seem picky, but it's vital to look for the right people.

What research has led you to your thinking?

Yes have worked back but their are a lot of them and trying to keep them all in the right place is proving a nightmare. I have just opened an email from mum with the lever family tree on, no idea where it came from as she is not answering her phone but I think I may have found him. I think ?

Right I think I have really fluffed this up.

Lets start at the beginning

I have a william Lever gledhill 1858 in my tree who I think came from a samuel gledhill and isabella Jane lever 1829-1890
I believe isabella came from William lever 1805 and Anne ?
I believe William 1805 came from James Lever and Elizabeth Parkinson But the tree gets confusing at that point and now I keep thinking its all wrong

The tree mother sent has James as Williams brother, so james married eliza hesketh buut where do the lever as in lever brothers fit into that. I seriously need to go to the library

kmlp Report 12 Mar 2010 12:05

Right okay the tree I have in front of me has William marrying a jane who died in 1843 but no other details are available

So this is the branch I need to look at because this is the branch I come from
