Lynsey Report 31 Oct 2007 20:45

I am confused as I cannot find the correct details for my maternal grandmother's father and his parents.

My grandmother is Marjorie Rhoda Lucy. Her father was Alfred Lever born in Fovant, Wiltshire in 1900. I have been told his parents were Sidney and Rhoda Lever; but I cannot find anything on them when looking at records for Fovant.

Please can anyone supply me with any information to confirm this / information on Sidney and Rhoda?

Many thanks

Just to complicate the issue there are two Alfred Levers, one born in 1872 the other in 1873.

The parents of one were Aaron and Elizabeth the other Alfred and Elizabeth. So if the Alfred born 1900 is the correct one, and it is the only one I can find, then the marriage certificate for Alfred and Edith will give Alfred's fathers' name
