W. Travers Symons
[edit]He had a lot to do with Mairet, from the late 1920s onwards. According to VIAF he was William Travers Symons. According to the memoirs of Desmond Hawkins his father was a marine insurance broker: "Travers Symons had a conventional and reasonably affluent career as his natural inheritance", but had Tolstoyan sympathies. From [1].
A William Travers Symons joined, as an annual subscriber, Lloyd's of London in 1914: [2] That was with HJ Symons & Co. - who apparently still exist as a company - presumed founder Harry James Symons, full member of Lloyd's from 1886.[3]
Harry James Symons may well be the father of William Travers Symons. A Harry James Symons, son of Peter Travers Symons of Greenwich, married in 1875 Charlotte Jean Stewart, daughter of Archibald Stewart of the Old Kent Road.[4] Looks like it was registered for Henry James Symons. [5]
There is a short obituary from 1918 (The Post Magazine and Insurance Monitor, Volume 79), "Mr H J Symons", of Harry James Symons of Lee, elected a member of Lloyd's in 1866 (sic), died at age 67 so born around 1851 meaning some typo there. He was connected to the Colonial Mutual Fire Insurance Company, and also the Standard Fire and Marine Insurance Company of New Zealand.
I'd like to establish (a) that W. Travers Symons in this article did indeed have the parents implied above, and (b) settle whether he was the husband of Margaret Travers Symons, divorce in 1914 per that article. It looks like Harry James Symons had three sons, and at least one daughter.
About all we really know about the husband of Margaret Travers Symons was that he was a sheep farmer in New Zealand.

Free BDM has a William Travers Symons married in Hampstead in 1902.[6] Looks like [7] for Margaret Ann Williams is the other half, so (b) above is looking good.
William Travers Symons born Camberwell 1879. [8]
