This is rather a long shot.We have a Mary Ann May who married a John Lever (Bolton area).She was one of 7 children of Robert May and wife Mary Ryley.Mary Ann's brother Robert May (b. 4 March 1865) married Mary Taylor, in turn producing 7 children, one of whom was Edith May (b. 6 January 1891) my grandmother.Unfortunately have no information regarding Mary Ann Lever's date of birth, though think she was older than Robert.There is definitely a link to Leverhulme but details are a little confused.Any use?
