The IGI entries suggest that Barzillai's first wife was Elizabeth - these are submitted entries for the children rather than Register transcripts. However there is one transcript at least, which seems to fit , the Leigh is almost ccertainly Lea Bailey or Lea , just beyond Mitcheldean Rd Rail Station.
