The only slight doubt I had was that on your Arthur's 1906 m/c to Minnie his father Arthur's occupation was given as
a Waterman a
Waterman was someone licensed to navigate and pilot passenger vessels on the River Thames
I looked and could not find a father & son named Arthur together on census with occupation Waterman.
The
1873 baptism of Arthur Hurley parents Arthur & Emily his father
occ Lightermana
Lighterman, worked on barges, carrying goods or wares up and down the river and from cargo ships to shore
Arthur Hurley Snr. occ
a labourer on census which matches the b/c of Arthur 1884.
The address
45 Ropeyard Rails on Arthur’s 1906 m/c to Minnie Hadway seems to confirm a connection with the Smith/Hurley/Hadaway’s who were living at that address in *1923 & *1933.
