Missing Sisters c1880

Can anyone help find missing Sisters?

William Thomas Corby b1845 Market Rasen, Lincolnshire, d1938 Canada married 1869 Grantham, England to Ann Maria Waring b1848 Leicestershire, Packington d1883 Canada.
William and Ann had four sons, two Daughters
Annie Maria b1871 England, Died?
William b1873 England, d1921 Canada.
Frank b1875 England, d1955 Canada.
Edward b1878 England, d1958 Canada.
Sarah May b1880 England, Died?
Richard b1883 Canada, d 1935 USA.
They left England for Canada 1880, I have two reference to a sister Mrs Robert Taylor Seattle Wa. In two of her brothers obituaries, one in her fathers probate and a fourth in a cemetery journal makes mention of five children left behind when her mother Ann Maria died after giving birth to Richard in 1883.
Sarah May I have on the passenger list arrival in Quebec 30 Oct. 1880 Vessel: Circassian Family mistranscribed as CORKY and a 1881 census St John's Ward, Toronto Family mistranscribed as Corley. Sarah must have died in Ontario after the 1881 census and before the death of her mother in 1883 but I am unable to find it.
Any help would be appreciated.

With every good wish

Hi Lisa, many thanks for the wealth of information you uncovered. The Edward Corby in the 1901 census was my grandfather, he was the only one of his family that remained in Niagara. It appears he lived with his brother William James and James wife Mary. James and Mary ended up in Ottawa, Mary died in child birth in Ottawa but was buried in Niagara, I have not been able to locate her plot.
My great grandfather William Thomas Corby remarried in Niagara thats the marriage you found but he left Niagara his wife stayed behind in Niagara he moving west to Lethbridge then Calgary I dont know the circumstances of the marriage but he started another family with Jane Powell if they married I cant find the documentation I have tried to attach a group sheet below.

Don't know if you've already read messages on the Corby forum or not, there's alot there, but I was mostly reading ones pertaining to Canada (from ENG), if you haven't read these, it might be worth it as they seem to reference someone who has done much Corby research. Might be of help?

Lisa, many thanks for the link. Could I impose on you to get an email or contact a person on my behalf?
When I went to the message board you provided there was a posted message from rosemcara1, that is my sister she has not been on line in years. A reply by luegord must be a distent relative of mine and is recent would you contact him (luegord) on my behalf or get the email for me. He would be part of the family my great grandfather started with Jane Powell in calgary.

you should be able to contact him or post to the list, I think, but I'll check for you.
OKAY, contacted him, he lives in Kamloops and was on in the last month, so maybe you'll get lucky, He hasn't posted any other messages on ancestry, although he might be elsewhere online.
