Davies Family / Re: Where did Michael live in Oxford?

According the bio of Rupert in 'Et in arcadia ego' that Nicholas McAulay put on this site, Rupert stayed at the Christ Church Deanery with the future Bishop of Ripon.  Hope you are enjoying your stay in the Quad  :)

Many thanks for all this information Andrew...very interesting. I don't know of a Choral Street around Bloomsbury way, there is however a Coram Street.

Haven't a clue which door. I don't think they were friends of Barrie as such, they were members of the 'Bloomsbury Group' that Michael was introduced to. Check the Bloomsbury Group out on Wikipedia for an overview of who they were and what they got up to.

The address is given in the book - 'The Real Peter Pan, The Tragic Life and Death of Michael Llewelyn Davis' by Piers Dudgeon. It is published by The Robson Press and can be bought from Amazon, or cheap second hand copies from Ebay.

As for staying in the room however, I'm not sure that is possible, as the room is (or was) part of Christ Church College's accommodation for their students. Maybe you could query that with Christ Church.

I can't see any Strachey photos on this website. If they are any of the usual ones seen in books or online I think the photos were likely taken either at Garsington Manor near Oxford (home of Lady Ottoline Morrell) or The Mill House at Tidmarsh, where Strachey and Dora Carrington lived.  Large size copies of these can be bought online.

The address I have for Michael when he resided in Christ Church Oxford was:

Peck 1:5   -  which is apparently short for Peckwater Quad, Staircase 1, Room 5 which is a second floor apartment. The living room overlooks the quad, with the college library to the south.

It's really strange, but just a few days ago I was thinking exactly the same thing. It can never be proven though unless something turns up in the form of letters/diary/journal etc etc. I hope it was just an accident...there seem to have been plenty of those over the years in Sandford Pool (I wonder how many of those were thought to be anything other than accidents?).
