This is likely Arthur.

I cannot help you with any births after 1907 as my site only goes that far for births.

Surnames: Rowley. Buker.
Lydia Rowley's Father was my Great Great Grandfather,Nathanial Rowley and sister of my Great Grandmother Rozilla Maria Rowley.He was born in 1820, in Monsell,Macauley near Bracebrige, and died between 1881 and 1891.His wife was Catherine Brooks.She was born in 1830 in the U.S.A.and died in 1894.Lydia was the eldest,born 1850 or 1852.Her siblings were Nelson,born 1853,Rozilla,born 1859,Nathanial Nelson,born 1862, Henry Jarvis, born 1864, Olive Odelia, born 1869 and Albert, born 1871.It is unclear how many children Lydia and Henry Buker had.The Ont. birth records show them as having Luther, Maria,William,Arthur,and Amos.There are several other children listed naming Lydia and Henry as parents but the birth county was not Muskoka.I don't have access through Ancestry.com for more detailed information. However the 1881 census list William, age 11,Samuel,age8,Luther,age5,Melburn,1born;Jul;9/12,not sure what that means,and Merray(Maria?).Ihope this information will be of interest to you
