Joseph LEVER, born 1846, Ashton under Lyne

[BAC3]

Hello,

Hopefully somebody will be able to provide details for this gentleman after 27th October 1866 (his release from Salford's New Bailey Prison)......he is fully documented prior to that date, but sadly post-1866 I can find nothing verifiable.

His parents were Nicholas LEVER (1821-1873) and Jane LEVER nee HALLAM (1824 - ?) and there were 6 siblings, William, John William, Henry, Mary Jane, Charles and Elizabeth Ann.

Thank you for your help.

Just for clarification:
Joseph Leaver b Manchester 1845 mmn Hallam.
Brother, Henry was born 1848 , Ashton under Lyne - registered as Leaver.

May make a difference when searching.

Thank you, heywood.

Nothing under LEAVER so far, sadly.  Ah well, I can always paint the brick wall

It was more the wrong place of birth. However, can’t see anything much for Lever b Manchester that could be him.

Good Morning,

I have uncovered a death entry for a Joseph LEVER aged 21 in the 1st quarter of 1867 in Manchester.
Possibly this could be the correct person, right age, for instance. 

Is there any way of absolute identification, other than a Death Certificate?

Lancs BMD https://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/     shows the death was in Ancoats sub district.
The Lever family were in that area in 1861 and 1867.
 Find a Grave has an entry for Manchester General Cemetery but no other details.

https://www.burialrecords.manchester.gov.uk/ indicates a public grave.

Good Afternoon,

I have discovered "a" Joseph LEVER died of Morbus Cardis on 12/03/1867 at 118 Ridgway Street, Manchester (is this Ancoats??), death advised by a lady called KENYON at 22 Ridgway Street.   Do you believe, on the balance of probability,  this advances the connection???

Hello Ladyhawk,

The prison record showing his father at 118 Ridgway Street is, I think, fairly conclusive evidence. Thank you.

I am really grateful.
