editMore work is needed to bring out the notability of Sir John but all I've done is:
- Replaced St. Leger with St Leger to be consistent (though the article does not mention the common spelling at the time of Sellenger or the original pronunciation in England and Ireland).
- Moved public career from lead to new section, which should be expanded as it rather than his lands or family is his claim to notability.
- Moved landholdings above family.
- Deleted Latin version of his family name, which is a French name anyhow.
- Deleted speculation about his sons, since none had any notability: and according to Virgoe (1982) left two sons[1] (only one according to Chope (1917)[2]) and four daughters:
- Deleted order of children, since evidence is lacking and several unmentioned children may have been born who did not survive.
- Added some parents, spouses and links.
