The Davies boys (the family only used the double surname Llewelyn
Davies in formal contexts) were the sons of Arthur (1863â€"1907) and
Sylvia Llewelyn Davies (1866â€"1910). Their mother was the daughter of
the French-born cartoonist and writer George du Maurier, and sister of
actor Gerald du Maurier. The boys were the first cousins of Gerald's
daughter, the author Daphne du Maurier. They were the inspiration for
J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan, in which several of the characters were
named after them.Barrie became their guardian following the deaths of
their parents, and they were publicly associated with Barrie and Peter
Pan for the rest of their lives. The three oldest served in the
British military during World War I. Two of the brothers died in their
early twenties (one in combat, the other drowning), and a third
committed suicide when he was 63. Their early lives have been the
subject of two cinematic dramatizations.They were:The boys were born
and grew up in the Paddington and Notting Hill areas of London. Their
parents were a barrister and the daughter of a successful cartoonist
and writer, and they enjoyed a comfortable middle class upbringing in
a household with servants. They were befriended in 1897 by
playwright/novelist J. M. Barrie, who first met George and Jack in
Kensington Gardens during outings with their nurse Mary Hodgson and
infant Peter. He initially entertained them with his playful antics
such as dancing with his dog Porthos, wiggling his ears, and
performing feats with his eyebrows, and further endeared himself to
them with his stories. He became a regular part of their lives, whom
they came to call 'Uncle Jim'. Llewelyn Davies boys Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
