Thomas Kenny. Bath street- weaman street

What help are you looking for? You don't give any dates.

Is it Thomas Kenny who married Mary Ann Herrick and was a gun engraver living on Weaman St in 1891? Or his son (?) who married an Annie Hodgkins?

Apologies.. l tried to post 2 photos but they were to big .. l’ll try again.
MWS.. Thomas Kenny who was married to Mary Ann Herrick 1883 was my great great grandfather.. they lived in Charles st Nechells. Thomas Kenny bn 1885 was my great grandfather he married Annie Hodgkins in 1906 .. they had a shop In weaman street.. he also ran rackett court in bath street which was a lodging house for workmen .. there’s an article about it in Carl chinns brummagem magazine issue 73 April 2007…
 
Hopefully this has worked… article is self explanatory.. photo shows my great grandfather seated..Thomas Kenny.. and two standing… possibly twins? Picture may relate to boxing events held at racket court.. can anyone assist? Thanks TomIMG_3103.jpeg

The newspaper articles relate to crimes committed by my great grandfather and my grandfather.. both called Thomas Kenny.. l served for 30 years as a Policeman in Birmingham.. most of which at Digbeth and Bradford street.. which is quite ironic
