Cork / Re: St. Leger Family

I would also love to learn more about my St Leger roots, although I don't think they are as august as most of ya'lls!
My great-grandmother, Margaret St Leger was from O'Callaghan Mills, County Clare. Her parents were Bartholomew St Leger and Bridget Halloran. Bartholomew's parents were James St Leger and Nancy Ryan, and that's as far back as I've been able to definitely confirm.
I know nothing about where the St Legers of County Clare originally came from. My 3rd cousin, who is a St Leger and still lives in O'Callaghan Mills, says she's heard a vague family story about being related to a Richard St Leger who came from England during the Cromwell invasion of Ireland. As in any family lore, how much is truth is up for debate.
Anyone have any clues? Thanks so much!
