See the lead paragraph of William Lever, 1st Viscount Leverhulme. It has been claimed that it is copied verbatim from this work: Jolly, W. P. (1976). Lord Leverhulme: A Biography. Constable & Co. ISBN 978-0-09-461070-5. It has also been claimed that the paragraph starting from: "The Lever family were Congregationalists and James Lever applied its principles in his business life ..." and ending with "... they were married at the Church of St Andrew and St George (then Congregational, now United Reformed) on St Georges Road, Bolton.." Unfortunately, the work is not available online, except in a snippet view, so I have not been able to verify the claim myself. The book is at gBooks here: .

 * I brought the book in on intra-library loan and was unable to locate any copyvio in either the lead or the paragraph about his marriage. For example the segment on his early education is covered on pages 6-7 of the book and is quite unlike what's in the lead or the body of article. Material about the courtship is on pages 12-13 and likewise is not a copyvio. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 16:12, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
