George Allison's site about his Allison family from Caldbeck, also has a lot about John Peel as well.

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...
