Are the occupations of the fathers given?
Who were the witnesses?
Was this a church or register office marriage?

I'm not having much luck finding them in 1901/1911.

I did find a James Kenny, newsagent, at 155 Wheatland Lane, Seacombe (nr. Liverpool), in a 1914 directory of Cheshire (www.historicaldirectories.org.uk), but nothing earlier for him (perhaps came over from Ireland?).

Thanks for Quick reply, i believe you may have hit the jackpot with James Kenny
On Alfred & Mabels marriage cert in 1916 James Kenny is down as a Soldier and the address of Mabel is Wheatland Rd Liverpool. Alfreds father was a Fireman.

 Thanks Regards John
