Davson Baronets
Encyclopedia
The Davson Baronetcy, of Berbice in British Guiana, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom.
It was created on 21 January 1927 for Edward Rae Davson. He was Chairman of the Federation of Chambers of Commerce of the British Empire and a member of the Imperial Economic Committee and the Colonial Development Advisory Committee. Davson married Margot Ellinor, daughter of Clayton Louis Glyn and his wife, the novelist Elinor Glyn
. He was succeeded by his eldest son, the second Baronet. Like his maternal grandmother he was also an author. In 1957 he assumed by deed poll
the surname of Glyn in lieu of his patronymic as well as the additional forename of Anthony. He died without male issue and was succeeded by his younger brother, the third Baronet (who had retained the surname of Davson). As of 2007 the titles are held by the latter's son, the fourth Baronet, who succeeded in 2004. As of 13 June 2007, he has not successfully proven his succession to the baronetcy, and is therefore not on the Official Roll of the Baronetage
