References to a John Jones, of Lea Bridge Road,  London, as a "lone" maker of banjos have been discovered but apart from the fact that he died in the 1920s and his workshop was in the garden of his house, nothing else has been unearthed except that making banjos was his full-time occupation.

 

How and where he sold the banjos he made is not known.
