Robert Hathaway

[5] After the war, he took up residence in London as chief of the city's branch of the sports equipment firm Spalding, eventually becoming a naturalised British citizen.

[6] In 1929, Hathaway met Sibyl Beaumont, dame of Sark in the Channel Islands and widowed mother of seven children.

[4][9] Due to her strong personality, the dame nevertheless remained the island's effective ruler and influenced Hathaway's decisions during Chief Pleas meetings.

[4] The marriage was very happy,[2] but the "Yankee Seigneur", as he was called, was troubled by the fact that the island he ruled was not large enough for a golf course.

[5] The seigneur was deported to the continent and interned in Ilag VII in Laufen which is located in Bavaria in Germany in February 1943, and remained there for the remainder of the war.
