Early life and career
Kenny was born on the Wirral, the son of William Fenton Kenny J.P. of Halifax and Ripon and his wife Agnes Ralph, daughter of John Rhodes Ralph J.P. of Halifax.[1] He was educated at the Heath and Hipperholme grammar schools and joined a firm of solicitors in 1863. In 1869 he became a partner but decided to leave and pursue a university education, entering Downing College, Cambridge in 1871. His career at university was particularly brilliant; in 1872 he was awarded a scholarship, in 1874 he was senior in the law and history tripos, won the Winchester Reading Prize, and was elected president of the union. In 1875 he won the chancellor's medal for legal studies.[2]
Kenny was elected a fellow of Downing College in 1875 and was appointed to a lecturership in law and moral science. In three successive years, 1877, 1878, 1879, he submitted an essay which won him the Yorke Prize; the essays were on the history of the law of primogeniture (jointly with Perceval Maitland Laurence), the law relating to married women's property, and the law of charities. These were published as The Law of England on the Effects of Marriage on Property, The History of the Law of Primogeniture and Endowed Charities.
In 1881 Kenny was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn and joined the south-eastern circuit.
Political career
At the 1885 general election Kenny was elected Member of Parliament (MP) for the Barnsley division of Yorkshire,[3] and at the general election of June 1886 he was again returned as a Liberal.[4] While in parliament he introduced bills for the abolition of primogeniture and for the amendment of the law relating to blasphemy, which demanded the repeal of the laws restricting the expression of religious opinion.
Cambridge Professor
In 1888 Kenny became university reader of English law at Cambridge University, and resigned from parliament[5] to concentrate on work at the university. In 1907 he was elected to replace the recently deceased Frederic William Maitland as Downing professor of the laws of England, a position he held until his retirement in 1918.[6] He died in Cambridge aged 83.
Family
Kenny married Emily Gertrude Wiseman daughter of William Wood Wiseman M.R.C.S. of Ossett, Yorkshire in 1876. They had two daughters.
