@ Another Nick -

This was my great-grandmother's experience, two to three decades earlier.

-Immigrated with her parents and siblings in 1870-71 at age 4-7.

-Returned to Ireland with her parents and XX siblings a few months later.

-Immigrated a second time in 1880-82, age 14-18 with one brother, age 14 in 1882.

I don't mean to disparage your family's experience and as you can see there are a lot of inconsistencies in the record.
