William James Kirkpatrick (m. Kathleen Charters 1904) and Robert Hugh Kirkpatrick (m. Charlotte Charters 1914) were sons of Hugh Kirkpatrick and Catherine Such who married in 1882.

Robert Hugh b. 1890:

William? b. 1883:

Catherine (Such) Kirkpatrick died in 1904 and was buried in Belfast City Cemetery Public Ground:

Kirkpatrick family in 1911:

In the above 1901 & 1911 census returns, note the daughter Janetta Elizth / Jeanette Elizabeth Kirkpatrick in relation to reply #8 (where in the 1922 marriage to Robert Winslow Charters, the bride of that name gave her mother's name as Catherine Such). Here's her birth:

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1896/02153/1816556.pdf

A 23 year old Janet Kirkpatrick travelling with a 72 year old pensioner Hugh Kirkpatrick arrived on the Megantic from Liverpool to Quebec in May 1920, the associated arrivals form showed her forename as Janetta and said that she was going to her brother William Kirkpatrick in Mitchell, Ontario.   

So looks like the Kirkpatrick and Charters families intermarried through 3 siblings.

The mystery about 'Warner' Kirkpatrick at reply #8 is solved:

http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/136968/KIRKPATRICK,%20R

Private R Kirkpatrick died 1917: Son of Hugh Warner Kirkpatrick, of Belfast, Ireland; husband of Charlotte Kirkpatrick, of IO/3, Louis Avenue, Windsor, Ontario.

You will see several similar repetitions if you google 'Hugh Warner Kirkpatrick', also, there appears to be someone of that name in the card manifests of individuals entering through the Port of Detroit, Michigan, 1906-1954, it is associated with the name Hugh W. Simpson and I see a tree online owned by 'David Winther' (you?) with Simpsons on it, so I imagine you might recognise this connection (Charlotte remarried?).

Now something speculative, a marriage in Belfast in 1917 between a George Smith and a Janetta Elizabeth Kirkpatrick of 10 Constance Street, the bride's father given as Hugh Kirkpatrick:

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1917/09750/5538455.pdf

Intriguingly, the 1918 Belfast street directory shows the following entry for Constance Street: 10. Kirkpatrick, H. W. (possibly Hugh Warner?)

http://www.lennonwylie.co.uk/ccomplete1918_b.htm

The 1920 Liverpool-Quebec passenger list and arrivals form (mentioned @ reply #27) was for Janet / Janetta Kirkpatrick and stated that she was single, so the 1917 marriage is perhaps just a co-incidence of names, just worth noting for now until it can be ruled in or out.

The online tree owned by 'David Winther' only shows the surname 'Simpson' for Charlotte's husband, no forename, so I'll post here the marriage of widow Charlotte Kirkpatrick to Albert John Simpson in 1920, her parents given as Robert Charters and Mary 'Gleacy' :

Edited to add: And these possibilities (there are other Charters in that cemetery who may be related, you can search the website)...

Tracing back to England wouldn't be something I'm strong at, I'm sure others are better placed to help, but I couldn't help but notice in the 1871 England census a 17 year old Kessia Such in Church Street, Swinton Yorkshire, born in Newcastle, parents Thomas Such, 42, a bricklayer and Matilda, 32, also siblings William T. Such and Tom A. Such, just a possibility for Hugh Kirkpatrick's wife.

You can see from the records that Mary's maiden name was Glancey (Glancy, etc.)

Marriage for Robert & Mary?
Birth for Kathleen?
George ‘Pottie’ and Agnes Atkinson buried Charters plot in City Cemetery

With the health warning that this is based on transcribed record, Kathleen / Kate was baptised as Catherine Charters on 21 January 1884 in St. Malachy's Belfast (RC), the date of birth given was 1 February 1883.  Ann, Francis and Charlotte Charters were also baptised in St. Malachy's, the latter 2 together when they were several years old (a comment was annotated to that effect).  So, a clear indication that the marriage of parents Robert Charters and Mary Glancy was a 'mixed' marriage.

Don't think this has been mentioned before but Fanny, Charlotte & Robert came to Canada as Home children.

8 May 1908 "Tunisian" arrived Montreal from Liverpool, England: Fanny Charters (17) & Charlotte (14) in a party under the care of Mrs. Merry going to Hespler, Ontario.
In 1911 census for Hibbert Twp, Perth South, Ontario, Fanny is a domestic in the household of Robert Graham (born Nov.1892 Ireland, to Canada 1908, Anglican).
She married 12 Mar.1921 to Stewart Ruttan.

12 May 1913 "Corsican" arrived Montreal from Liverpool, England (departed 3 May): Robert Charters (13) in conducted party under Mrs. Merry going to Hespeler, Ontario.
