There are no other details. The Calam travelling with him has no details other than Housewife i think. Their names have been crossed through so whether they actually travelled or not I don't know.

There is someone on Ancestry who is researching the Calam family, are you aware of this? She has corrected the 1901 census to give Harry's actual name.
Might be worth checking out, you never know.
