You’ve posted this on the Find Ancestors board so are you looking for his ancestors or current living relatives.

For ancestors you firstly need to find his birth. If he was English or Welsh use www.freebmd.org.uk you may then be able to work out his parents and find them on the 1911 & 1921 census. For Scotland you need to look at Scotlands People.

Added: from free bmd. Edward William D Leverentz born 1903 Pancras ( London)

Have you done any research?

What exactly do you hope to achieve?

He isn’t in any GR tree other than yours, but many others with the name Leverentz are, so try making contact.

By googling the surname I was led to another thread on Pehr Leverentz in 2019, with lots of posts and which, in turn, led to another thread in 2019 regarding Edward William.

Sorry, unable to post the links.

Have changed machines - but the OP doesn't retiurne to her threads.


:-( The queries go back even further:

All the Leverentz threads are originated by Phyllis - shown by using ‘advanced search’ on here

A quick look suggests that she didn’t return to any of them - despite having been sent PM’s asking her to do so

In 1949 he was a Fireman, living in Bunbury, Forrest, W A. At the same address was a female named Matilda Leverentz…per ER

There is a comprehensive tree on Ancestry..........take out a 14-day free trial and send a message to the 'owner'

I'm not going to post any further info on here until I know that Phyllis has returned to the thread

Phyllis was given information about Edward ( known as Dave)& Matilda’s children’s names in 2019 as well as suggestions for his possible siblings.

She never returned to threads and seems that she likely never did a more research.

OP responded to my PM. I sent another one asking her to look at her threads. Opened!

I hope she doesn’t start any more threads :-S :-S :-S :-S
