George W F Jennings died in 1948 and his address was given as 84a Parliament Street perhaps someone misread the 3 for an 8.

No....The house / yard faced Burlington Street......you could say it was half way between Park Lane and Upper Webster Street......That would be number 34a.....There wasn't a number 84a....the last house number was 62.....

George William Frederick Jennings was living alone at 34a Parliament St. in 1939, Emma Elizabeth died in 1922.

I remember Jennings, they used to hire out basket carriages and handcarts. Another line was charging batteries for the old style radios - I think it was sixpence a time. We had electric radio but I often went with my friends.

I am related to the Jennings of parliament st, I do believe my grandmother lily Jennings ran the yard for a while with my great grandfather George w.f.jennings. I am trying to find out more history on my grandfather's side, my grandfather's name was Frank William Adams, whom married lily Jennings in 1939.

Frank William Adams b August 1916 mother Hardy, was the son of Hubert William Adams and Edith Hardy who married in first qtr of 1916.
1939 census
11 Gladstone Place , Asylum road, Birmingham.
Hubert W Adams b 2nd April 1892 Public works labourer status married
Amy Ingram b 22nd May 1895 Charlady status married.
Frank Adams b 29th august 1916 Aircraft fitter status married
Lily Adams b 30th March 1916 status married

I cannot find Edith Adams after her marriage.

That's where I got a bit confused on ancestry it says Frank William Adams father could also be Herbert Adams or Hubert?

i have traced a Edith hardy to an orphanage called Josiah masons I'm unsure if it is the same Edith hardy but it would explain her actions in life.
