I'm wondering if this isn't the family in Lucknow in 1901:
17133 Mutton William MHead M May 15 1856 44
18133 Mutton Mary FWife M Jun 28 1871 29
19133 Mutton George MSon S Jul 10 1890 10
20133 Mutton John MSon S Jul 3 1897 4
21133 Mutton Frances MSon S Dec 3 1898 3
I believe the birth years are all off by one year, as the enumerator was to list the age at the LAST birthday; ie, Frances (who is probably your Frederick) was three at his last birthday and the enumerator couldn't subtract properly -- the birth year should be 1897.
There is a William Mutton in Hibbert, Perth Co. in the 1881 census of the right age (ie, born about 1857). Arthur is with his parents in Fullarton, Mitchell County.In 1901, only Arthur Roy is with Arthur Sr. in Mitchell.
If you can get Frederick and/or Arthur's birth registration through the Ontario Archives or the LDS, it should confirm their parents' names.
