Note by jca: on Dec 16, 2014, So who were the Fox brothers of Pritchard, BC ?
The 1911 census does show a Fox family at Ducks Range BC, which is right beside Pritchard. Perhaps the brothers are in Vancouver at that time?. A check on the 29th Battalion roster at https/archive.org does not show any Fox names at the time of it's formation. It does show Joseph Wright as per his attestation papers however.

The 1901 census in BC shows a Louis Fox , age 19, born Ontario as well as William, age 32 in that area of BC. This would appear to be the "Fox brothers" mentioned. jca
