George du Maurier
George Louis Palmella Busson du Maurier (6 March 1834 – 8 October 1896) was a French-British cartoonist and author, known for his cartoons in ''Punch'' and also for his novel ''Trilby''. He was the father of actor Gerald du Maurier and grandfather of the writers Angela du Maurier and Dame Daphne du Maurier. He was also the father of Sylvia Llewelyn Davies and grandfather of the five boys who inspired J.M. Barrie's ''Peter Pan''.
==Early life==
George du Maurier was born in Paris, the son of Louis-Mathurin du Maurier and Ellen Clarke, daughter of the Regency courtesan Mary Anne Clarke. He was brought up to believe that his aristocratic grandparents fled France during the Revolution, leaving vast estates behind in France, to live in England as émigrés. However, du Maurier's grandfather, Robert Mathurin, was actually a tradesman who left Paris in 1789 to avoid fraud charges, and later changed the family name to du Maurier. 〔http://www.victorianweb.org/art/illustration/dumaurier/pva95.html〕
Du Maurier studied art in Paris, and moved to Antwerp, Belgium, where he lost vision in his left eye. He consulted an oculist in Düsseldorf, Germany, where he met his future wife, Emma Wightwick. He followed her family to London, where he married Emma in 1863. The couple settled in Hampstead around 1877, first in Church Row and later at New Grove House.〔Borer, Mary Cathcart.

ISBN 0491018274〕 They had five children: Beatrix (known as Trixy), Guy, Sylvia, Marie Louise (known as May) and Gerald.
