By 1911 they had moved to 27 Elm Rd, Woodley, Rock Ferry, Birkenhead. This census confirms that although they had been married for 14 years they had not had any children.

Ada died at the District Hospital, Newbury on 9 October 1918 aged 52:

Arthur then married Winifred Grace JENNINGS in mid-1928. The marriage was recorded at New Forest, Hampshire. Arthur was aged 58 and Winifred was 46. Winifred was Arthur's second cousin once removed on the GOODLIFFE side. Arthur's grandfather, Arnold, was the brother of Winifred's great-grandfather Daniel (as the family tree above shows).

Arthur Herbert died on 16 January 1952 aged 82 years. Probate was granted to Winifred Grace GOODLIFFE, widow. His Will left his property to his wife Winifred and the remainder of his estate in trust to provide an income for Winifred. As they did not have children, his Will then left his estate to a variety of nieces and nephews.
