What year was he born ? What were the parents names ?  Did he have other siblings, relations in Canada or the USA ?

Is this the 1913 record you were referring to?  https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QK3B-H2L7  If so, it looks like his final destination was Canada and he was applying for admission at Winnipeg.  Even though the database mentions Vermont, I don't see any reference to that on the actual list.

It's also worth noting that Manitoba does not share a border with Vermont.

I think this is the one - he did have a wife Maggie and son Robert in Peterhead but they did not travel with him as I have their details.

The last I can find for him is the one you have posted - after that he disappears.
I think the Augus Comrie may refer to another from Peterhead - Comrie Angus and the surname may have became mixed up with Christian name.
I thank you for your help but it looks as if he will remain a mystery.
