Hi,
I don't know much about John Peel but I do know that he is my 4xgrandfather - how many of us are there out there?
-
Hi jane,
John Peel is a very interesting man, he is both loved and loathed for his hunting skills.
John had a younger brother called Askew, and it is Askew who is my gggg grandfather. The Peel's, from what I have seen, were well known around Caldbeck and also a naigbouring village of Ireby.
Please PM me with your email address and I can send you some infomration on John Peel and his family. Unfortunately his grave was vandalised by anti hunt protesters but thankfully no real damage was caused. I guess he is still quite a controversial figure...
Matt :)

I am not 100% sure but my Dad said we were related to the Peels by marriage? well its possible Mary Young was a Peel she was born 1 mile from the village that John Peel lived in. Please send information that would be wonderful. Mary Young was married to James Young originally from Somerset
-
Hi Shell and Tracie.
Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you both re John Peel.
John Peel and Mary White are NOT my 6x gt grandparents, I do not know why I said that they were, so apologies for that too. John Peel is in fact the brother of my 5x great grandfather Askew Peel. Askew was 12 years younger than John. Their parents were William Peel and Lettice Scott.
Shell, just so I can get things straight (I have been off the boards for a few weeks), are you trying to find out if Mary Young's maiden name was Peel? I have no menton of a Mary Young in my Peel line. What makes you think her maiden name was Peel? It would be great if we established that we are related!
Tracie, yu are not allowed to post email addresses on the boards for privacy reasons but will private message you mine so that you have it. I would love to see photos and share info. Likewise to you to, Shell :)
Reaybo (but you an call me Matt lol) :)

Hello
It is a tentative link at the moment all I know is my Father told me we were related to John Peel the Hunter, now Mary Young (her married name) was from Hesket Newmarket, born in the 19th Century I am not sure if she was a Peel or not I have to dig out a marriage certificate, I understand Hesket Newmarket is about a mile from Caldbeck where John Peel hails from as I carry on tracing the tree more will be revealed! will let you know when I know its possible we might be related

Hi
My Grt.Grt.Grandfather was John Davidson, his brother Robert married Mary Peel 15 Aug. 1840 Ireby. Robert & Mary moved to Durham.
-
Hi I think my great grandmother or great great grandmother was Jane Charlton, the Charltons were border rievers, coming over the border from Scotland and I have been told that they were quite a tough group of people who travelled around the area. She is a direct descendent of John Peel
-
Hi
Jane was one of five daughters born to Thomas Peel (son of John Peel & Mary White) he married Ann Harrison. Jane was Baptised 14 Nov. 1841 Caldbeck. She married Robert Charlton 1865.

I was born in Ireby Cumberland and I am just now starting my search for my historical family. I was born in 1943 and Joseph Scott was my father and Margret Isabel (nee McGuffie) was my mother I had 4 sisters and we emigrated to Canada around 1951 or 1952. My parents owned the Sun Inn in Ireby and they told me we were related to John Peel.. They had some hunting relics belonging to John Peel, a riding crop, stirrups, photographs and a few other things. They sent them to a museum in England. My sister still has John Peels hunting vest...he was not a large man and another sister has a doll in perfect condition that belonged to one of John Peel's daughters. I would love to hear from anyone who can help me with my search as I know nothing about as to how to get started.

Does anyone know if John and Mary had a son called George (possible dates are 1814 to 1899) who was married to Hannah Jackson in about 1842?
-
George is listed on many family trees as the son of John Peel and Mary White, with Hannah Jackson as his wife. If you do not have access to ancestry, try the sister site www.mundia.com where you will be able to access the information and have contact with the tree owners.
George was also listed on this link - http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/p/e/n/William-Penrice/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-1246.html

Many thanks for your swift response, Sandra. I am indeed on Ancestry but very few of my Member Connections feature George on their trees so I am pleased that you have confirmed that he does exist! Am grateful also for the links which I will certainly follow up.

Hi Waverhouse, George Peel and Hannah Jackson were my 3x grandparents. My tree is on ancestry if you are interested. You will need to contact me through it if you wish to see it. There is quite a lot of info on there.

My connection is actually via Letitia, one of george's sisters, who married a 2xgreat uncle

Hello there Mark R
I am also a distant relative of The Huntsman John Peel. I believe he is my 6x great grandfather as well. If you have any further information on him and his children, I would love to hear what you have discovered.
Thank you for your time.

Hi everyone,
My name is George Peel and apparently I'm a direct descendent of John Peel the Huntsman! From what I have heard, one of John Peel's sons moved to an area in or around Livingston in Scotland. There is a lot of streets, parks and housing districts that where named in the family's honour during settlements of the time.
I'd like to find out what son that it was that I'm connected too! If anyone can share with me any info they have, I'd be grateful ;)
My grandfather who I was named after was George Russell Peel. He was a miner when he was 12 and later a farmer.....His wife was Mary (May) Deans
Thanks George
