I searched and found her on the S. S. Beltana as you mentioned:
http://www.rootschat.com/links/01sdy/
This is her (potentially) in Queensland, Australia:
http://www.rootschat.com/links/01sdz/
I think this is her becuase it has her name as Patricia Gladys Mildred Roughsedge
-
Do you know what city she disembarked at?
-
There is a mention of a Nurse ROUGHSEDGE at Bathurst Hospital - resigning in 1927
https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/159198626
-
Also, a Gladys ROUGHSEDGE, nurse, appears on the 1930 electoral roll at 17 Beach Rd, Edgecliff (NSW).
-
Do you know what city she disembarked at?
According to the 1921 passenger list, Sydney.
-
In most States the death indexes show the names of parents if known by the informant.
Is this Gladys' birth? Parents Francis Henry ROUGHSEDGE and Mildred CORRY.

Thank you all
I did have her birth and she was born in Dublin to Francis Henry Roughsedge and Milldred Cory.
I did not know about her coming to Queensland and marrying a Wright must have been a late marriage. I will look into it further.

There are a few mentions of trove of Miss Patricia ROUGHSEDGE of Sydney in the Townsville to Cairns area dating from around 1932, and she is "of Bowen" from around 1939.
Also a few mentions of " Sister P Roughsedge" nursing in Chillagoe , Qld in 1924 and moving "for cooler climes" the same year.

We must be aware that there was one Priscilla ROUGHSEDGE living in Queensland and Victoria.
Here Priscilla Roughsedge passes some nursing exams in Vic in 1921
https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/204268452?searchTerm=%22priscilla%20roughsedge%22
Possibly it is she in the references found by Maddy.
Hard to be sure ::)

Hi Sue
many thanks, I have just found the Entry in Ancestry
"Australia Cemetery Index, 1808-2007 for Patricia Gladys Milfred Wright"
I was searching for an exact search for "Mildred", and I see the Entry in the Index is "Milfred", this is a lesson for me, Do not to use an exact search.
Thank you, Cass
