There are no Leveson-Gowers or Levison-Gowers in the index to the censuses of Scotland on SP. There are two people surnamed Gower with middle name Leveson in the index to the 1901 census of Scotland (in Torosay on Mull) and none in any other year.

There are no Leveson-Gowers or Levison-Gowers before 1891 on the index on the commercial web site I use for England and Wales. There are people with surname Gower and given name Leveson or Levison in the England and Wales Census as follows
1841 - 3 people
1851 - 2 people
1861 - 7 people, all in Surrey
1871 - 6 people, none in London
1881 - 4 people, none in London
There are other Gowers with a middle initial L that might stand for Leveson or Levison, but there are too many to look through all of them.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
