Loobey or loorey of tipperary

Hi, I am having terrible trouble trying to piece together my fathers family tree. I sent away for my grandfathers war records to get some names of his parents but typical, the copy receive does not show his mothers maiden name very well.
My grandfather was called Michael John Wilson born in June 1922 clonmel, Tipperary.
His fathers name is down as Stephen Wilson, although he was known as Michael Wilson so maybe this was his middle name? His wife was called Mary. Her surname is down as either Loobey or Loorey.
I know they came over to England just after my grandfather was born due to the problems at the time.
I am having real problems with this tree considering Wilson is one of the most popular Irish surnames and Mary most popular first name it's like finding a needle in a hay stack!

Any help or leads would be greatly appreciated
