Hello
I am sure he was born in Warwickshire.
I did find the one in Hampshire as well.
But he is not the same one, I have check with someone who has the Hampshire Levi in their tree.

Are you sure he was born in Warwickshire?

There is a Levi Butler in the earlier census - but Hampshire born. Also a birth record of one - but again in Hampshire.

Was it possible that he was born in Hampshire and the family moved to Warwickshire when he was young so he thought he'd been born there?
