Hello Trish,
thank you for this new info. The more I think about this, the more it seems like John Samuelson Heikkilä born 6th July 1852 in Raahe could be your great-grandfather. Earlier I said that he was born in Kalajoki, but I checked again, and found him in the birth records of Raahe.
In the communion book of Raahe there is only one marking of him between 1871 and 1881. This was 11th August 1878.
These markings should be made every year, but this man has only this one.
You told he was issued a passport in 1873. Then he cannot have been born in 1862, because then he had been only 11 years old. I think it is more likely that he was born between 1850 and 1855.
I think there is only one way to find out about this: to ask about the fate of this John Samuelson Heikkilä from the Raahe parish. The questions should be: do they have any marking of his marriage or death, and if so, when and where? If he moved out from Raahe, when did it happen and where did he move? One question could also be, if this person disappeared, was he declared dead and when?
If you want, I could send an e-mail to Raahe parish and make these questions in Finnish.
