Whether it came to Australia from Ireland, or was added after arrival in Australia, I don't know. Family history says it comes down from the descendents of Henri Le Clerc, Henry the Clerk, an illigitimate son of Louis the XIV (or some other Louis - didn't seem very important at the time) Suggestions most welcome. Ann G - descendant of Catherine O'Reilly.
