A great source of information on William Hesketh Lever, son of James Lever and Elizabeth Hesketh (daughter of William Hesketh of manchester)is a 1927 book written by his son William Hulme Lever.It can be found in second hand bookstores on the web.
William Hesketh Lever and his brother James Darcey Lever did indeed form the Sunlight enterprises.
I searched withour success for the ancestry of Elizabeth (and her father William Hesketh) without success but there is ample information on William Hesketh Lever and Viscount Leverhulme at the Bolton site and, of course, in Burke's Perrage.
Check Bolton details at: http://www.thisisbolton.co.uk/lancashire/bolton/info/BENINFO2.htmlhttp://www.thisisbolton.co.uk/lancashire/bolton/info/BENINFO2.html
Good Luck.
