Two siblings:
Henry Thomas Macey b. 1854 Fonthill Gifford
Mary Macey b. 1861 Fonthill Gifford
Born to Samuel Macey and Priscilla Burt.
Henry Macey disappears after the 1871 census, where he is still with his family.
Mary Macey disappears after the 1881 census, where she is a servant for the Smith family in Langton-Matravers, Dorset.
Two of their siblings end up living in Dorset, and one in Somerset. Two immigrated to Canada, but said siblings immigrated between 1900-1910.
Any information about them would be appreciated.

Possible for Mary
There's a marriage between a Mary Macey (father Samuel - a labourer) and a Richard William Stokes at Eling, Hants on 27 Sep 1885. On the 1891 census, Mary is from Wiltshire, but it doesn't give town / village. She's recorded as 28 though.
added
On 1901 census, the birthplace given as Fonthill, so unless there are twp Mary Maceys with father Samuel in either of the two Fonthill villages, we have Mary

I've been entertaining Thomas Henry's in the area now but none of them are matches.

Since they had so many children, sometimes the census report for their household would go onto the next page, and not all the time transcribers realize this and put the names on the next page down as a separate household.
This just seems to be a case of transcribers not communicating and making duplicate records. Since I'm around 60% sure ancestry gets half of its record from other places (Like Familysearch or FreeReg) and doesn't bother to check its credibility. There is only ever one Samuel Macey c1831 baptized in Fonthill Gifford.
Samuel on 25 Sep 1831 to James Macey and wife Alice, Fonthill Gifford, Wiltshire.
Samuel Macey and Priscilla Burt 1854 in Tisbury, Wiltshire. (Marriage Registration)
Priscilla on 16 Sep 1832 to William Burt and wife Harriet, Fonthill Gifford, Wiltshire.
