Trying to find Sibley

I am trying to find any information about Andrew George Sibley born about 1872. I know he was in the Royal Fusiliers based in Dover Kent in 1898. He was married to Mary Annie O'brien and they had five daughters, Kathleen, Gladys, Winifred, Florence and May and two sons, James and Albert. When his wife died his three eldest daughters, Kathleen, Gladys and Maude and his two sons were split up with the girls going to one convent and the boys to another somewhere in Enfield, Middx. He kept the two youngest daughters with him and met another woman, whether she became his wife or she was there to look after the children, I don't know. I know he lived and eventually died on the Isle of Wight and that one of his sons, James, also lived there. I am told that James's wife may have been called Kathleen. If anyone has any information I would be most grateful.
