I am trying to find Francis William Lever in the 1901 census without much success.
I have a birth record of Dec Quarter 1896 Wycombe, Buckinghamshire 3a/744
I have a marriage record to Mary Ethel INGRAM Dec 1942 North Buckinghamshire 3a/3515
I have a death record of Feb 1985, aged 88, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire 19/1576 (This gives his birth as 12 Sept 1896)
Can anyone please help me find his parents? Would be most grateful.

In 1901 he's at "Castlemans", Wycombe, with parents Walter B (41) and Agnes (30).
Try the census reference to sidestep any mistranscriptions: RG13/1351/86/14. (Let me know if you still can't find them and I will write out the household for you).

His parents' likely marriage:
Marriage, Dec qtr 1892

Agnes Jane FORBES

i am also tracing Lever family tree from F.W Lever he was my father in law my husbands name is Robert Forbes Lever born 1948
-
I have a Lever family tree which was compiled in 1880. It goes back to the 1600 s. The Levers were Lace Dealers in Hanslope, Bucks.
Walter Blake Lever s grandfather was Charles Lever, born in Raunds Northamptonshire in 1802. He was the second son of Benjamin and Letitia Lever. My husband is a descendant of Joseph Brown Lever, who was the youngest son of Benjamin and Letitia Lever.

Hi Pauline
I am Ginny Butler. My late father in law was Geoffrey Lever Butler. My husbands Grandmother was Doris Lever. She was married to her cousin Frederick Butler!!. Frederick Butler was the son of Frederick and Alethea Lever. As I said before, I have an original family tree which was compiled in 1880 and dates back to the 1600 s. I can let you have a copy if you wish.
We live near to Northampton. :)
