Arthur R SMART birth registration is actually in 1904 (23805 ) at Manly - from Ancestry. However, there is an Arthur Raymond SMART at Manly on electoral rolls in the 1930 -1950s. 

There are a few mentions of Arthur Russell SMART of Hillston on trove eg:
https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/16125927 - 1924, appeals under the Gaming Act
https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/131041025 - 1934, insufficient means of support
https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/131066732 - 1941, indecent behaviour
https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/137351774 - 1934, offensive behaviour

From Ancestry -
a marriage of Arthur R SMART and Dorothy M BANN at Manly in 1934.

Also Marriage of Arthur Russell SMART and Dorothy Jean Adva CAMERON at Hillston in 1942.

Are these the same person? I see from his enlistment in WWII, Arthur Russell SMART of Hillston is born 6 Aug 1901.

I think these are definitely 2 different people. Which Arthur are you interested in - the one born Manly with parents Arthur and Mary Lola, or the one who died in Hillston 1978?

[Mummybear1]

the one born Manly with parents Arthur and Mary Lola, I thought he one from Hillston
the one who died in Hillston 1978? Didn’t see two can get Confusing

It certainly can be confusing.

There is a death of an Arthur Raymond SMART on 18 Oct 1971, aged 67 at Mona Vale, late of Balgowlah (near Manly). Will see if I can find the death notice.
