Robt's 1916 census is referred to by others above

Here's his 1916 image:
http://data2.collectionscanada.ca/006003/t-21927/pdf/31228_4363956-00411.pdf
[addy T6 R13 W1M, a=34, Farmer, immig 1898]

So Robt re-emigrates to Canada:

1898
Ship:PARISIAN
Port of Departure: Liverpool, England Londonderry, Ireland
Date of Departure: 1898-03-24 1898-03-25
Port of Arrival: Halifax, N.S. Portland, ME
Date of Arrival: 1898-04-01
Year:1898
Microfilm Reel Number:C-4518
Remarks: Date of arrival may apply to Halifax only List Number: 66
Reference:RG 76
Item Number:9369
http://data2.archives.ca/e/e177/e004411444.jpg
Robt a=16 is a Labr from England.
I can't make out where he's headed - it might be Brandon (in MB) - Ancestry might have a better image

They all use the Rounthwaite PO
Obadiah is at S16 T8 R18 W1M
Thos is at S30 T8 R18 W1M - he has 4 horse, 2 milk cows, and 2 sheep
Robt is at S19 T8 R18 W1M - he has 5 horse, 1 milk cow, and 4 sheep
It would seem that Robt is a visitor at Thos's

They're on difft tickets, and it could easily be alphabetical happenstance that they're on successive lines]
