Hello there, and excuse the late reply; I've been away from the pc for a few days!
Gael you have found their marriage/banns and the baptism of their child Hanah (who is Anna in the 1891 census). Now, this is where is gets interesting; the marriage cert shows Michael to be the son of John Lever, but it should be James! I've certailny followed his parents as being James Lever.
I beleive John Lever may be recorded instead of James Lever on the marriage certificate, as this may be a deliberate 'mistake' as I think this marriage may be an elopement. I say this as, you will note that the banns dated 21st May 1871 state both bride and groom are residents of Cheshire. When the couple married on May 29th they give address of abdoe as being in Warrington!
I also feel I can say this with some confidence as Michael Lever is such an uncommon name (see FREE BMD). Also, his age and details from later censuses seem to confirm this. Also, the couple's son's Henry's birth cert from December 1871, confirmed his parents as Michael Lever and Mary Woods.
Liz; Michael died in the Workhouse at Dutton, near Runcorn Cheshire. I can't find him either!
Thank you for this help! Any opinions also on my theory are appreciated, even if I have been following a wrong family!

Thank you Liz; I'm off to bed now, but I'll be back tommorrow!
Thank you

My great great grandmother "married" again in 1876, as did her husband, but they were still legally married to each other!
Will see if I can find anything for you tomorrow - or today as it is now
Regards, Liz

Hi Liz,
To be honest I haven't looked for marriages as it would be bigamy; but of course, on reflection that is a possibility! Her husband Michael definitley died in 1913; the name is unusal and the cert confirms this.
Perhaps I need to broaden my search!
Thank you

Could she have remarried between census - have you looked on free bmd. Have you tried a search on this site to see if anyone else is looking for the family.
Regards, Liz

Hi there,
Is someone able to please look-up the following lady for me in 1911. Here she is in 1881 and 1891; I can't find her in 1901, but none of the death between the census seem to be here, and I've enquired about several at various register offices etc.
So I am trying my luck to see if she in the 1911; she was born Mary Woods in about 1852 in Runcorn, Cheshire (or Widnes, Cheshire).

She and husband Michael seem to have seperated; here he is in 1891 and 1901 (no sign in 1911 although he died in 1913):
