Joshua was born on the 8th April 2002 at Weatherfield General Hospital. He is the son of Maxine Peacock.

Ashley was listed as Joshua's father on his birth certificate and has bought him up as his own.
Maxine was killed by Richard Hillman when Joshua was just nine months old. Joshua now has a stepmother, Claire Peacock, who started off as his nanny. Shortly after Claire found out she was pregnant, Matt got in touch with Ashley and requested to see his son. Matt has now visited Joshua. Claire and Ashley had a baby boy, Thomas in July 2006, but Claire, having overcome her post-natal depression, has expressed her desire to rename him Fred in honour of his late grandfather.
