1882 ships arriving from Sweden & a photo from New Hampshire

I have a photo of my great grandmother, Kerstin Wahlberg, taken at Bugbee Studio in Wilton, New Hampshire 1882-1884. I have not been able to find her in passenger records or CastleGarden or Ellis Island. She was born Dec. 1859, and the 1900 census says she emigrated in 1882. She died in 1901. I have not been able to pinpoint ports that would have taken her to New Hampshire once on land. She married in 1883 (don't know where), and the first child arrived in 1885 in Lackawanna, PA. Her husband was also born in Sweden, and there is a passenger list for him in 1891 where he arrives at New York with destination of Wilkes-Barre. It appears that both she and her husband lived in Falkenberg, Hallands, Sweden. So it seems as though she would probably leave the Gotenberg port, go to Hull, England, and then……….??? And BTW, all of the Kerstin Wahlbergs we have researched on passenger lists - aren't her! Thank you, in advance, for any assistance you can offer!
