I've found a William Arthur birth reg Peterborough district in Q4 1881 mmn Clarke, in 1901 he seems to be single and in prison, occ bricklayer's labourer.

added
I think it's a different one in Northampton prison, it looks like he was born London not in Peterborough / Northants area

yes lizzie, think we are closing in on ,william arthur think born 1882 at newborough and 1883 for elizabeth from moulton chapel lincs, thanks so much now I MAY have the link.Margaret.

Better fit for William Arthur in 1901 lodging with Susan Dower in Frampton, Boston.Lincs, also lodging is John Thos Robinson b abt 1876, both men are brickmakers and born Newborough Nothants, so possibly brothers.

This is a bit odd
1881 census (a few months before William Arthur was born)

Samuel Robinson Head   26  Crowland, Lincolnshire, Farm Labourer
Eliza Ann Robinson Wife  28  London, Middlesex
John Thomas Robinson Son  5  Peterborough, Northamptonshire, Scholar
Samuel Robinson Son  3 Newborough,  Northants
Annie Robinson Daughter 0  Newborough

Samuel jnr birth reg has mmn Brudenell.

Samuel snr married Eliza Ann Brudenell Q3 1877 Peterborough district.
John Thomas reg as Brudenell surname Q1 1876 no mmn, so it fits with him being her illeg child born the year before marriage.
But Annie and William Arthur both have mmn Clarke.
