Enquiry about McCann family tree

I am researching the McCann family - especially the family of Henry McCann, who looked after the Waggon and Horses in Digbeth in 1900. Many of his 12 children lived in Adderley Street ( according to the 1901 census) - one of which, Lilly, was my grandmother.
Henry had previously earned a living with his brother Louis as professional strongmen under the title Hercules and Sampson. We have filled in much of the detail on this side of the family tree , with help from many others. but I would be interested in any detail members can offer. My father. Eric McCann. moved to Merseyside in the 1930s where many of his current descendants, including myself, reside.
