Unfortunately she's proving harder to find inbetween! She may be the Rosina Harris in Saskatchewan, Canada in 1916, aged 31, born England, immigrated 1910. If so she's with husband George E Harris 34 b England immigrated 1906, and son Laurence George Harris aged 2 born Saskatchewan. The only problem is there is a sister-in-law (to George) named Florence Viney aged 28, b England, immigrated 1912.
ADDED: Scrap that. This Rosina died in Canada in 1947, full name listed as Rosina Jane Harris, maiden name VineyLast edited by Jomot1; 18-10-2019 at 3:51 AM. Reason: added info

Thank you, I’ll see if I can find the voyage of the majestic and trace the additional info you noted. I have solid contacts in Saskatchewan who might be able to help.

Ok. I see that you think the Canadian Rosina is not the one, but I assume that there may still be one in the States.

Ancestry also has a record for her in the U.S. Naturalization Record Indexes, 1791-1992.
Rosina Isabel Harris
Court District: New York
No year given unfortunately, but there is a number that may help - 548432

Jomot1;
I just realized that whatever explanation is developed needs to also address Rosina Isabel West visiting her mother in the 1911 British Census. If her married name was Harris, how is she shown as West in the census? Something odd here, but I can’t explain it.

So, doing the maths, Rosina arrived in New York on 21 April 1910. Had a whirlwind romance with a Mr West, got married in the US (highly likely NY), and came back to England to show off her wedding ring and possibly a photo of hubby to mum and sister Frances.
The UK 1911 census was held on the night of Sunday 2 April which fits Alma's find in post #16
