Davies Family / Re: The Davies name & use of Llewelyn
« on: November 07, 2008, 10:29:48 PM »
Hello Robert, I've just read your message again and realise you knew pretty much all that before I added my half asleep badly spelt reply with words missing!  I am Maurice's great grand daughter and my mother is Jane Wynne Willson and as far as I know has no blog!  My grandmother was Theodora Calvert and I remember Andrew coming to visit her when I was little and he was writing the Lost Boys.  I have rather late in the day, got interested since reading his book this week and watching the TV version tonight on DVD.  My grandmother used to visit Barrie near the end of his life, I wish I had asked her more about all of them now...

Hello Robert, I have just logged on for the first time and it's a bit late so apologies if this is a bit rushed.  I am a great granddaughter of Arthur Llewelyn Davies brother Maurice.  My mother has recently been writing about their family in fact I spent yesterday at Girton College copying more letters from Mary, Arthur's mother, to Arthur's sister Margaret.  I know from my mother's knowledge of Margaret (who lived with her at the end of her life when my mum was a girl) that as John Lleweln Davies their father prefered his second name he was known to them all as Llewelyn and they gave all the sons the name Llewelyn as a second name.which they chose to use as a double barrel surname.  Margaret was given a second name of Caroline I , but she was cross about this and chose to use the Llewelyn Davies as well.  My grandmother and her siblings all went on to be LD from then on so it would have been bizarre for Sylvia to revert to Davies when the whole family had adopted it, Emma Dogliani
