Jones or Old Jones's Hops - any ideas?

[clinchie]

As mentioned before I'm researching a 1902 brew paper and it called for "Jones Worcester" hops.

I've done quite a lot of research and there are several mentions of "Old Jones's Hops" in books and internet articles but none of these seem to give any idea of the family tree.
Am I to assume that it was a variety of it's own and now extinct?
Or can anyone show me a variety that it was grown from or a variety that descended from it (preferred) :thumb:

Jones would probably be the farmer growing the hops . . . You see that a lot in the old brewing ledgers, Hop varieties were pretty much unknown, but the farmer that was the source of the hops was. What is known that for a very considerable time in the 1800's Fuggle was something like 80% of the entire UK hop production, with golding making up the majority of the rest. . . This is the reasoning behind the Hops used in the Durden Park book . . . where not specified int eh ledger it was assumed that the hops would be fuggle or golding

Thanks for that, it matches up with all the results I've found on my internet searches.

I've also solved the sugar mystery so now it's just the malt

sounds like an interesting project - love to see the final recipe spec, old recipes like this are very interesting and like the durden park recipes tend to be heavy hitters in the hop department
