You're sure it was Margaret Louttit...
If so she appears with him as a domestic in the 1901

If she is sister to the james Louttit above then she is Cree ( Not sure what F.B. stands for)

Not reliable and this one is wonky as: a FamilySearch Ancestral file has her parents as:
Peter LOUTTIT & Jane WYNNE but they have the wife Jane the same age as margaret so that doesn't make sense unless that is a second wife?

Could it be the Peter Louttit & a Margaret listed here in 1851/1861...

Her age fluctuates betw. censuses ...here is the 1911 & image for those who wish to see it...
The children belong to first wife Elizabeth Jobson

From this site: http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/genealogy/022-911.005-e.html
“Cree f.b.” denotes that the person is racially a mixture of Cree and French (breed)
Should have known that as my husband is metis...

Here James again says he is of French descent
http://www.automatedgenealogy.com/census11/SplitView.jsp?id=56878

another submission has Janes last name as" Potts" another as "Mariette" so there are now four surnamess for Peter's wife...

Don't you love it when a person somehow only ages 3 years between census.  ;)

There is a death in Dryden, District of Kenora for James Louttit that indicates he was born 6 Aug 1872 and died 7 May 1923. His parents are listed as James Louttit and Jane Pott. The informant was his son, William. It is possible that William gave the wrong name for James' father.
