I have a record here which lists an immigration of a man from Russia (specifically Grodno):

I am studying the surname "Gowler" and it doesnt seem to me to be a common name for a Russian.
Could he have just chosen a random name? What would have influenced this?
I thought he could have left from the UK, gone to Russia and then returned, but it doesnt seem he is a "Re-admission to British Nationality" as per the key at the bottom of the document?
Could it be that his family left for Russia (hence him having the Gowler surname) and then he has returned?
Confused!
