William Ravenscroft

William Ravenscroft (born 1976) is the oldest of Peel's children, who later studied at Combs Middle School in Stowmarket, Suffolk and at the University of Liverpool studying Archaeology. William later on got involved in setting up a website called Unpredictable Porridge, where unsigned bands could have their music listened directly by music executives. The website since then has been closed and no further news on what William is currently doing.

Marriage
William met his long term girlfriend Zahra d'Aronville while both were at university, where Zahra was studying zoology. After graduating, the couple moved to Newcastle, where Zahra was working as a zoologist at an aquarium, where she later was promoted to management level. In 2008, the couple decided to get married at St Andrew's church in Great Finborough, Suffolk.

Links To Peel
John Peel often mentioned his son on his radio shows and in one television documentary in 1999 called Father And Son, he talked about his relationship with William and his criticism of his bedroom hygene. Later on in his BBC Radio One show from 01 September 1999, Peel apologised privately and publically to his son William on air about embarrassing him.
