Sorry ignore my last post about naming I got my wires crossed.  Let me explain.

1. John - Rachel

There third son was called John died as infant.  Their 6th child was named John and their 7th Reuben (ggg granddad)

2. Reuben - Mary Taylor

Their second son 6th child was named Reuben (gg granddad) and their 4th son 9th child was called John.  Their 3 son 8th child was called Aaron.

3. Reuben - Hannah Ardron

Their first son 1st child was named Aaron (great granddad), second son 2nd child was called Reuben and their fourth son 4th child was John.

My great grand children were one boy and two girls. Then son my granddad was called William Arthur and he named one of his twin boys with the same name, my uncle.

Sorry for the mis info tied, was up at 4 with the youngest and not got back to bed yet.

Hope this helps

Reuben Married Mary Taylor about 1845 but not sure where.  Mary was born about 1823 in Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire.  Hope this helps

OK lets start at the beginning.  About 2 years ago I was given a list of names, some with dates of birth and deaths and some missing.  It took two years but I finely found my dads mum and his dad farther.  This was found by a nice lady on a well known site.

With this new data I went back from my great granddad and was able to link all the pieces of paper together right back to John.  This was more difficult but on a well known site there were about 5 different people with the Levis tree and all had the info I had and some with extra which I noted and confirmed before I added to mine, but they all had the samething in common they all get to John and Rachel ? and stop.

On another site people have checked other sources and I have even checked Huntingdonshire Family History web page and they don't hold the Levis surname at the moment, I know we come from here because of the Census.

Onething I forgot to say is we be live John is from Sawtry and I have being told that they are not on line yet.  I have check every source I can.

Hope that helps you all to under stand what I have so.

on another site someone did a check and found no John Levis marring a Rachel and I can not find anyone by that name around that date. 

As for the link to Reuben after 2 years searching and with some help I found my great granddad and then using Census records (i did a 14 day free trail, no money spare at the mo) I was able to confirm all the info i was given apart from two odd balls and this John.  One thing i will say is traditionally within the Levis family the third son born is given the farthers name.

If I can confirm John and find is farther I should be able to trace back to a Samuel Levis who went to America with the Pilgrim farthers.  This Samuel stated the Levis family in America, and I should be able to go a further two generations back from Samuel.

I have maneged to trace back to my gggg granddad, but I am starting to think I may have the wrong name.  The info I have is below:

John Levis b 1784 Huntingdonshire and died 1825 in the same place. He married Rachel ? she was born about 1785 in Huntingdonshire and died about 1850. They married about 1806.

They had the following children:

Thomas Levis b 1808 in Sawtry d 1864
Charles Levis b 1816 Sawtry d 1887
Charles Levis b 1812 Sawtry d 1816
John Levis b 1814 Sawtry d 1815
Catherine Levis b 1818 Sawtry d 1828
John Levis 1821 Sawtry
Reuben Levis b 1824 Sawtry d 1864

The children I have confirmed and Reuben in my ggg granddad.
