• Notes

  STATUS: Commercial. BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY: According to the 1911 and 1931 Canada censuses he immigrated in 1910. In the 1931 census his last name was incorrectly indexed by Library and Archives Canada as Hitchax and the enumerator wrote down his first name as "Fredrick". He gave his birth date as Jun 1888 and his occupation as a draftsman. Enlisting with the Canadian Expeditionary Force in 1916, he served with an ambulance unit in France and returned to Victoria in 1919. When he enlisted he gave his occupation as draftsman and that is also the occupation he gave on his marriage registration record. By 1922 he and his wife appeared to be living in Duncan where she was working as a hairdresser. He was first listed as a photographer for F.A. Monk in 1925 and then operated the Duncan Studio, first on his own (1927-1929 and 1934) and then with G.B. Daniels (1930-1932).
