Baptisms 1800s London England
« on: Thursday 15 April 21 18:08 BST (UK) »
In looking at some possible records I find some possible matches based on parents names. 

The baptisms for two (so far) children are at Saint Dunstan,Stepney,London,England and one marriage at St Dunstan and All Saints, Stepney.  The baptisms were for one child born 1814 and one born 1821 but baptized same day at Saint Dunstan. One in 1817 was at City of London Lying-In Hospital, City Road, Finsbury, Islington.  That is the person that married at St Dunstan and All Saints, Stepney in 1835.

I find some other possible matches but the baptisms are at  Limehouse St Anne, Tower Hamlets in 1823.  One at Shoreditch St Leonard, Hackney in 1824 and one  St John, Hackney in 1826 and 1828

The name is Leverge which does not seem extremely common.  Would it be unusual to use several churches?  I assume a move to a new residence might result in a change but have not seen an address on anything as yet.

I assume you are looking at the children of Joseph and Elizabeth LEVERGE?

It looks like children Charles and Elizabeth (bap 1821) have residence Mile End Old Town and father's occupation - mariner.

The baptism of Joseph in 1817 (at the lying in hospital) has father's occupation musician, "of the C. Grant East ???

Eliza (bap 1824 at St Leonard) has father a mariner of Bethnal Green Rd.

Mary Ann (bap 1826 at St John) has father a Gentleman of London Field.

There is an Alfred in 1828 - father is a jeweller of Cambridge Heath.

So a few Joseph and Elizabeth LEVERGE families around the same time.  ;)

Forgot to include Matilda - bap 1823 at St Anne, Limehouse - father a Gentleman of Limehouse. (When Matilda marries in 1839, she says her father, decesed, was a jeweller.)

Also John, bap 1831 at St John, Hackney: father a jeweller of Cambridge Heath.

There is  a report of the house of Joseph LEVERGE being broken into in 1828 when a number items were stolen (lots of jewellery among other things),- 64 Whitechapel Rd.
Tuesday,  Mar. 11, 1828,  Police Gazette

You can see the family of Joseph (the jeweller, now deceased) and Elizabeth in 1841 at Henry St, Tower Hamlets in 1841:
Elizabeth  46
Eliza         16
Alfred        14
Edward     12
John          10
Sophia      8

There was an East India company ship Charles Grant.

The date in this ad is a typo and should read 1817
