Those are two separate incidents. The ingestion of one or more ejected passengers in an engine was the United Flight 811 incident you cited, in which a side cargo door and the surrounding section of fuselage blew off. From the Wikipedia article:I seem to recall a case where an airliner (on its way to Hawaii?) lost part of its roof and an unfortunate passenger was sucked into an engine. IIRC not much was left.
edit: This one I think:

Despite extensive air and sea searches, no remains of the nine victims lost in flight were found at sea. Multiple small body fragments and pieces of clothing were found in the Number 3 engine, indicating that at least one victim ejected from the fuselage was ingested by the engine, but whether the fragments were from one or more victims was not known.
The airliner that lost its roof in transit was Aloha Airlines 243. A flight attendant was ejected, but there was no indication she was ingested in the aircraft's engine.
