In 1906 Arthur married Florence May Lissaman, daughter of a draper, at Wolston Warwickshire. He gave his occupation as an artist. By that time his father had died. In 1908 Arthur was listed in the Kelly's Directory of Warwickshire as a hairdresser at Wolston, Coventry. In 1911 Arthur was an employer who described himself as a photographic artist and hairdresser, living with his wife, a two year old son, a servant (employed as a hairdresser) and his brother in law, at 20 High Street, Halstead, Essex. Arthur W Utton, photographer, appears in the Kelly's Directory of Worcestershire 1916 at 92 High Street, Bromsgrove. Arthur joined the RAF in 1918 and died after an operation at the 1st Birmingham War Hospital, Rubery, on 25 January 1919. Newspaper reports of his death recorded that he had been in business for a number of years at Wolston and that he was "well known in the district and his genial manner left him many friends."
