"On the 1911 census, Joseph and Alice are living with 3 of their children, as well as a nephew named Arthur Rioux, born in October 1893. I don't yet know who the parents of Arthur could be": he would appear to be Joseph Arthur Rioux, son of Ferdinand Rioux and Zélie Lavoie, born 1893-02-03 in Trois-Pistoles, QC. If you look at the original census record, you will see that his birth-month has been wrongly transcribed at Automated Genealogy 1911
