The final 2 Emma is a widow and in 1911 she is in Derby, with 3 children still, guessing they moved as one is a teacher.
It does look like the marriage to Adelaide Hopper could be him and in Lincolnshire in 1911, an engine fitter with birthplaces correct. Not sure if a marriage certificate would help, it could tell you that Edwin was his father, but if you don't like him in the census, then that would not help.
I would run with that as a scenario and track each of his siblings - there are many, sometimes marriages etc will throw up a good witness. You might even find a will, at £1.50 might be worth ordering.
If you don't want to add to your tree, start a new one with William as head and see what you find. You can merge him (I would take out his children before doing that as it will get in a muddle!
One of the trees I looked at seems to have gone off on the wrong track with another Emma in Chelsea.
I can post the links from Ancestry if you can't find them.
I think maybe he did just move in with Maria without divorcing, and started a family. That would make sense about her using different names.
