I am beginning to think she may have gone back and forth a few times. That would account for the different dates.
What do you think
Jennifer

Yes, I suspect that may be the case.  I also wonder if she perhaps travelled with a sister or 2 sisters but I need to find that record again - to check if the ages fitted. Have a feeling it just said Misses McPhee's

There was an Augusta, 1870, Mary, 1876 and Uelencort!!! 1877 on the 1881 census. Mother was Eliza,

There was a Millicent born 1877 who appears on the 1891 Census who I think is your Uelencort on the 1881 Census .  Canadian Passenger record for a Miss M McPhee travelling Halifax. Nova Scotia to Boston 23 Sept 1903 on the Halifax. Tourist and no further info.
