Jack Llewelyn Davies


John Jack Llewelyn Davies was the second eldest of the Llewelyn Davies boys befriended by Peter Pan creator J. M. Barrie, and one of the inspirations for the boy characters in the famous story of Neverland. He served in the Royal Navy during World War I. He was the first cousin of the English writer Daphne du Maurier.

He married 19yearold Geraldine Gerrie Gibb in 1917, without first asking permission of Barrie, who only grudgingly approved of the relationship. Nonetheless, Barrie gave the couple charge of the Davies family house, where Michael and Nico still lived during school holidays, in the care of Mary Hodgson. Friction between Gerrie and Hodgson led to the elder womans resignation. Davies had two children Timothy, born in 1921, and Sylvia Jocelyn , born in 1924.
