(Left to Right:Harold C Peakall [1869-1929]: Ida E Peakall [1899-1991]: Arthur L Peakall [1901-1987]: Miriam C Peakall [b.1897])
The Peakall Family can reliably trace their history to Hugh Peacall born c1735. His eighth child,
James, born in August 1778, was the first to be registered with the current spelling of the name.
Although the family carry an oral history that they derived from 2 Huguenot brothers who emigrated from France
to England, all known current members of the Peakall family can be traced as descendents of Hugh Peacall and the connection
to the Huguenots remains to be proven.
Please note:
The following pages provide basic details of the family. Dates of those living or people born after 1915 where I have no
confirmation of death, have been removed. If you have an interest in the Peakalls or associated families or wish to correct any of the
information, please feel free to e-mail me. I am not currently actively researching the GRO so am therefore interested
particularly in information relating to the current generation. If you can add to the family tree or would
like further information then e-mail me - I’d really like to hear from you.
