This looks like the same girl from 1911:

FOWLER, Sarah A Wife Married F 38 1863 Lincoln
FOWLER, Gertrude A Daughter Single F 15 1886 Lincoln

Bonus - you have the maternal grandfather's name.

How does this Thomas' occupation fit with the marriage certificate?

But as I'm sure you've been advised before, remember not to assume that anything on someone else's tree is correct, unless they provide documentary proof.

Always check for yourself.

Lots of Ancestry tree owners have made wildly wrong assumptions.

He would have gone around Railway Drivers' and Firemen's houses to wake them up in time to start their shift.

Ancestry's transcription of the 1939 record gives him a different DOB - but as there's a bit of tape across the date on the original document, I don't see how anyone can know what date was written:

Arthur Holloway
in the 1939 England and Wales Register
Name: Arthur Holloway
Gender: Male
Marital Status: Widowed
Birth Date: 6 May 1886
Residence Year: 1939
Address: 154
Residence Place: East Retford, Nottinghamshire, England
Occupation: Caller-Up Railway
Line Number: 33
Schedule Number: 132

Enumeration District: ROHO

Registration district: 426.1-41
Household Members Age
Arthur Holloway 53
Lily Holloway 26

Edith A Holloway 12


EDIT:

Inverting the colours on the image does let the writing show.

It looks more like May to me .

If this is his birth, then it's May:
