He was elected at the 1841 general election as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Newcastle-under-Lyme,[3] and held the seat until the 1847 general election,[4] when he did not stand again.[5]
His illegitimate son Edmund Peck, was born in 1834.[6] Peck later adopted his father's surname and inherited his fortune, and became Sir Edmund Buckley, 1st Baronet.
