There are issues arising from the data concerning the relationship between the children of Raphael Barzilay: His son Abraham was born Jan qtr. 1890 Whitechapel with the maiden name of his mother Koningswater. However. there is a GRO Marriage Index Record for Raphael Barzelay to Ellen Shields March qtr. 1894 London 1c 71. The children Esther born Mile End Old Town Jan qtr. 1893 1c 535.

There is no current marriage record between a Barzilay and Koningswater but the marriage may not have occurred. been registered or taken place overseas.
