I couldn't find a match on the US census, so I went & looked at the passenger list -- it says the final destination is Winnipeg.  It doesn't look like Priscilla was even in the US. . .
CAMPBELL (Balleghan), DOUGLAS(S) (Carrowhugh) - Lower Moville, Co. Donegal
HUSBAND(S) (Sneem), SULLIVAN (Kenmare) - Kenmare, Co. Kerry
KEARNEY (Kilmurry/Castleisland), O'CONNOR (Shanaknock/Ballymacelligott) - Tralee, Co. Kerry
KEEFFE (Ballyhooly), HARRINGTON (Rathnadarrahy), DILLON - Castletownroche, Co. Cork
Note: My Irish ancestors ended up in Boston, Massachusetts area of U.S. between 1880 & 1905.

- a Frederick John Funge married Priscilla Brewster, Jan 22 1918 in Winnipeg
- also a Frederick John Funge d. Nov 26 1932, aged 78.  I wonder if this is the same one or his father (if it is the same one he would have been in his 60s when he married Priscilla.

There is a Frederick John Funge b. in Stepney in 1854 which matches the age of the one d. 1932 in Manitoba.  Also a possible marriage for him in 1877 in Mile End.

1881 census shows him:
Frederick John Funge, 26, b. Stepney, Book Binder
Martha, 22, wife b. St. Georges
Frederick, 1, son, b. Stepney

(so maybe the son is the one who m. Priscilla, or maybe Frederick just remarried very late in life).
