From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

George Llewelyn Davies (20 July 1893 - 15 March 1915) was the eldest son of Arthur and Sylvia Llewelyn Davies, and along with his brothers was the inspiration for J. M. Barrie's character Peter Pan. Barrie became a guardian of the boy and his brothers following the separate deaths of his father and his mother. He and Barrie remained very close as he grew up, went away to school, and joined the UK military to serve in Flanders during World War I. He died of a gunshot to the head at the age of 21. He had no wife and left no children. His name was the inspiration for the character George Darling.

In the 2004 film Finding Neverland he was portrayed as a child by Nick Roud.
