This is that 1950 journey arriving US:

New York, Passenger Lists, 1820-1957

Arrival Date: 25 Apr 1950
Birth Date: abt 1898
Age: 52
Gender: Female
Ethnicity/ Nationality: British (English)
Place of Origin: Britain
Port of Departure: Southampton, England
Port of Arrival: New York, New York
Ship Name: Mauretania

Thing is, she didn't travel - name stamped "DID NOT EMBARK". The outgoing voyage above also had her name crossed off on the original image.

If she had travelled then she was headed to the Hotel Abbey in New York so was more likely a cancelled holiday rather than an emigration.
