Peter Daniell

Sir Peter Daniell MP, also Peter De'Anyers, (1584–1652) of Over Tabley Hall was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons in 1626 and member of the De'Anyers family.

Born into the De'Anyers family of Cheshire, he was the eldest son of Captain Peter Daniell of Over Tabley and Anna daughter of Henry Mainwaring of Carincham, Cheshire.

He inherited his family estate Over Tabley Hall aged 6 following his father's death in 1590.

He matriculated at The Queen's College, Oxford on 16 October 1601, aged 17 and was a student of Gray's Inn in 1604 and in 1626 was elected Member of Parliament for Cheshire. Daniell's brother Richard matriculated The Queen's College a year after him in 1602. Their father Captain Peter Daniell (alias De'Anyers) had matriculated University College, Oxford in 1576.

In 1620 he married Christian Grosvenor, sister of Sir Richard Grosvenor of Eaton Hall whose great-great-grandson was created 1st Earl Grosvenor, ancestor to the Dukes of Westminster.

Other descendants of Sir Richard include Prince George of Teck, 2nd Marquess of Cambridge, Charles Innes-Ker, 11th Duke of Roxburghe, Thomas Anson, 6th Earl of Lichfield, and William Lygon, 8th Earl Beauchamp
