John Dilworth+
JAY, Thomas Worked 1690-1720 London UK. No known connection with either of the Henry Jays, above. Small Stainer model with arching of medium height and delicate workmanship.
George Hart+
Related to the above. Excellent work.
William Meredith Morris+
Made a few excellent violins.
Cecie Stainer+
Working in London from about 1690. May have been related to the other Jays. He made some excellent violins. Was possibly in partnership with Edward Lewis, but there is no proof of it.
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Vermuthlich ein Sohn von Henry I. J. Seine Arbeit ist gut, jedoch der von
J. Baker in Oxford ähnlicher als der Henry Jay’s. Es wird behauptet, dass er
mit Edward Lewis gemeinschaftlich gearbeitet haben soll, doch lässt sich nicht
feststellen, auf welchen Grund hin diese Behauptung aufgestellt worden ist.
