If you have access to Findmypast.co.uk there are references to Levy Brothers in the newspapers.  One of those appears as an advert in the Bolton Chronicle Saturday 29th April 1854 for the sale of goods.  Messrs Levy Brothers, Woollen Drapers, Outfitters etc, 17 Piccadilly, opposite Peel's Monument, Manchester.
