perhaps not


Levi born Lincoln, living Faldingworth Lincolnshire reappears in 1881


That's that theory blown to pieces!

I wonder if he was not born in Staffordshire????


The first record of him is on the 1871 census, when he is a servant in Cheshire

It is quite common for our ancestors to think that they were born somewhere when they actually moved to there when very young.


There are 2 Levi Martin's born ca 1858 on the 1861 Census

Levi Martin Elizabeth abt 1858 Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England Grandson Faldingworth, Lincolnshire

Levi Martin Robert,Esther abt 1858 Westhoughton, Lancashire, England Son Westhoughton, Lancashire



The first one, born Lincoln, with mother Elizabeth Martin, does not appear in 1871, but is replaced with Levi born Staffordshire:-


Levi Martin Robert, Esther abt 1858 Westhoughton, Lancashire, England Son Westhoughton, Lancashire

Sevi Martin [Levi Martin] abt 1858 Madley, Staffordshire, England Servant Checkley Cum Winchill, Cheshire



I wonder if that is your Levi, whose mother Elizabeth moved to Staffordshire, and he thought that was where he was born, or was told that



Just a theory
