[edit] Re his being "Irish born"
I have changed the internal link in this section from The Republic of Ireland to The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. This is purely to give correct historical context. This BBC article [1] says he was 63 at the time of his arrest which would mean he was born circa 1877. That was 50 years before the breakup of the United Kingdom of Britain and Ireland and well before there was an Irish Republic. I don't believe it would be accurate to associate the subject's birth with a state which did not exist at the time.IrishPete (talk) 12:48, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Tibbs
In view of the fact that Henry's son was a well-known boxer, is he related to the Tibbs clan of East End boxers (and also allegedly villains), the latest of which was the trainer Jimmy Tibbs, who was in the corner of a London world champion a few years ago, (Charlie Magri as I recall)?
