Hi there,

I am looking to extend one of my branches of my tree that seems to have become a little stuck.

My ancestors James Lever (c. 1822-bet 1881-1891) and Hannah 'Ann' Monkhouse (c. 1822-1901) were married in Bolton in 1845.

I am trying to find James Lever in the 1841 census and see if I can find his family back over.

James' year of birth ranges from about 1817-1822, and the census confirms his place of birth as Bolton in Lancashire. From his marriage in 1845 I know his father was William Lever.

So, not a lot to go on but can he be found in 1841.

With this, there are two different James Lever's born in Bolton in and about 1817-1822, with a father named William, but DIFFERENT mothers. I am hoping a find in 1841 will help confirm which one is mine.

Thank you,

Peter
