Researching the Guidera/y family.

There is a Thomas Clarke Luby written up in "Modern Ireland 1600 - 1972", p.392, and another book on Tipperary said there were 2 Luby sisters from Clerihan who were early teachers when the Clonmel sisters began their school. Hope that helps?
========================================================
Here is some additional information on the Two sisters:
Actually there were 3 sisters. Their parents were:
John Luby and Margaret Quirk.
This family donated land and money for the creation of the Ursuline Convent at Thurles, in County Tipperary. All three daughters became nuns at this Convent as follows:
Joanna Luby b. circa 1773 at age 21 entered the convent on 17 Jun 1794. Her NEW name was Sister Augustine.
Mary Luby b. c1775 at age 19 entered the convent on 17 Jun 1794. Her new name was Sister Angela.
Anne Luby b. aft 1775 (youngest of the 3 sisters) entered the convent in 1802. Her new name was Sister deSales.
Their was also a brother, Rev. Thomas Luby, Parish Priest of Clerihan who helped his sisters financially and otherwise until his death in June 1819.
The Ursuline Convent at Thurles was founded in 1787 by Sister Claire Ursula Tobin. 11 years after she founded the convent she founded the school "Scoil Angela Ursuline Primary School" in 1799. This school is still around! Check it out at http://www.thurles.ie/primary_school_education/316/#ScoilAng....
The only other info I can find on these Luby sisters is that Sister Mary Angela Luby resigned from the convent in 1815 (source for this is The National Archives of Ireland
http://www.nationalarchives.ie; Women's History Resources;
Record 11925 from 'Directory of Sources for Women's History in Ireland' Form no: 12025.) In addition there is one other mention of a MOTHER M. Angela Luby w/ the dates 1816-1825 in the National Archives of Ireland.
My own direct line is through a Brigit Luby b. c1810 in Ireland who married a Thomas SHANAHAN b. c1810 in Ireland and had the following children:
Denis SHANAHAN b. 1830 Co. Limerick,
Michael William SHANAHAN b. 1841 Co. Limerick and Margaret "Maggie" Ann SHANAHAN b. ? Co. Limerick.
But I've never been able to find any record of this Brigit Luby or her husband Thomas SHANAHAN in Ireland.
I'd love to correspond with anyone who has ANY more data on the children of John Luby and Margaret Quirk. Are there ANY descendants? With son being a priest and 3 of their girls being nuns - if they didn't have any additional children then this line of Luby's must have died out????
