Robert's place of birth is simply shown as Blenheim. It does not tell us if he was born in town of Blenheim in Kent County, or in the Township of Blenheim in Oxford County.

The 1861 census in Canada West was begun on January 4th. The birth date question was: What is your age as of your next birthday. Without a date of birth for Robert, it is probable that he was born in 1860 and, hence, age 1 in 1861. The 1861 census shows the family in West Nissouri Township of Middlesex County.
