• Notes

  The notes received from Ann Tong indicate that they had no children, however they had a son in 1918. [1] Thomas and Dorothy performed various dance routines, especially on stairs. They were billed as Herbert La Martine and Teddie Sherry. There are numerous entries in theatre adverts in various papers. Sometimes Thomas is just listed withour Dorothy, at other times they had extra dancers with them. Care must be taken not to confuse him with another performer using the same name. The 'other' Herbert La Martine was performing earlier than ours. Information received from Barbara Wise in 2024 links them with the Carden Arms pub in Tilston, Cheshire during the 1950s - I have yet to find any documentary proof of the [DS 18/04/2024] Married: She married as Dorothy Jacobs
