There are other baptisms which give the place name, but they are all preceeded by Do: Do Rush Green, Do Lymm etc.

Those of John Leigh have a single word, and some look more like pavor: Ann in 1711 and Thomas in 1713

May be a different person, but one in 1712 has John son of John Leigh Do broomedge.

A couple of others have John Leigh Buchar (Butcher?), again no Do, as though they were distinguishing between two differnt people.
Mary, daughter of John Leigh Bucher in Jan 1717/8 follows after Thomas son of a Thomas Leigh paver in Oct 1717

Another in 1713 has Margaret d Thomas Leigh Rush Green (no Do but may be short of space) followed next day by Thomas son of John Leigh pavor, which could be a place or occupation.

At a guess 'Do' is probably 'De' meaning 'of'

That is so true - it does suggest something that isn't a location, doesn't it, given the context of other locations listed that do include caps.
