Sarah Sophia CORRY

Qld. Death 4 Jun 1956/C01322 Humphreys Sarah Sophia - Thomas Corry - Mary Gegan

... Born in England in 1871, she came to Australia as a young girl, was married at Aramac, and lived for many years in Barcaldine. ...

I can't find any birth or marriage of her parents in England that fits that. So possibly Ireland.
