do you have any other primary source that might give further clues? later/earlier returns? marriage certificate? My great grandfather's half sister was a career nurse with a london teaching hospital and travelled all over the world in her job from the 1890s up to 1912 when she married an officer in the army she had been nursing.

One of my great grannies was both the midwife and the person who laid out corpses- hatching and dispatching so to speak:-)
