To me the father's name is Arthur McNab, occupation cartwright.
Mother's name Elizabeth ? McNab, maiden surname (possibly) Rodney?

Agree with JenB that father is Arthur and a cartwright. Not sure about the surname.
Mother is Elizabeth - something - surname as father

I see her maiden name as Rodway

Both deceased.

I agree with JenB, but it seems to be Elizabeth Ann McNab, and I slightly prefer Rodway (but it could be Rodney).

Hello -

I would also read the mother's maiden name as Rodway.
