Leybourne family (John Brocard?) - Dublin/Ireland

Wondering if anyone researching the Leybourne family esp. of Dublin has come across a particular individual I am interested in. I have a photo taken in a studio in Australia in 1885. The photo is inscribed (apparently by a gg aunt):

"Father Leybourne, Head of Carmelite Order in Dublin. Mother's Gr. Uncle".

I know very little about him in terms of relation to my family but from this photo I gather that he may be:

* John Brocard Leybourne *
a Dublin carmelite prior who went to Australia 1881. He returned to Dublin poss. before 1887 and died in August 1911. We have family stories about this gg aunt visiting him.

Would love to hear from anyone on this person or his ancestry and will gladly share a copy of the lovely photo.
