Tommy (the fool) married my great-grandmother later in life. We used to have a lot of their stage equipment and some of the instruments but I'm not sure where it all went, sadly.
Tommy and Jock worked the world in those days, playing several esoteric instruments as well as established items like the uke, bagpipes and the zither.
Back over sixty years ago I saw them in Glasgow a couple of times---at either the Pavilion or the Empress, I think. They were relatives of my father and I still have a rather tattered theatre glossy of them in full costume.
