Family History Beginners Board / Lever family in Lancashire & Yorkshire
« on: Friday 19 March 04 19:12 GMT (UK) »
My Great Grandfather, William Lever (according to family tradition) walked from Hyde in Lancashire to find work in the coal mines of Barnsley, Yorkshire. He married Mary Ann Dodd in 1892 in Barnsley and had six children:
James, George (both killed in the Great War), Percy William (my grandad), Jack, Harold and Gladys. I have found references to three of the first four in the 1901 census but none whatsoever for George. Harold always maintained he was born in Farnworth (Farnsworth?) in the greater Manchester area.
Any info or advice as to where to go from here would be greatly appreciated, COS IT INT AS EASY AS AH THOWT
