That depends upon which peer: http://www.parliament.uk/about/contacting/lord.cfm says that "Many Peers do not have public email addresses". I'd advise you see this list: http://www.parliament.uk/directories/house_of_lords_information_office/alphabetical_list_of_members.cfm for those who have websites and go from there. Or send a snail mail (see the first link)

What is a hereditary Peer?
Hereditary Peers inherit their title and consist of five ranks: Duke, Marquess, Earl, Viscount and Baron. Peerages may become extinct or fall into abeyance, but so long as there is an heir, the title will continue. Stage one of the House of Lords Act 1999 removed the entitlement of most of the hereditary Peers to sit and vote in the House of Lords, and of the 92 hereditary Peers who retain their seat in the Lords, 75 were elected by their fellow hereditary Peers.
What is a peerage and do they still exist in the UK today?
A peerage is basically a system of titles of the nobility in the United Kingdom, part of the British honour system. The term is used to refer to a collection of titles, and individually refer to a specific title. The Sovereign is the one who can grant or take away titles from a peer - they are considered the "fount of honor", or the head of state. They have the power and influence over these kind of decisions. If someone neither has a title or is part of a member of a peer's family, then they are also known as a "commoner". There are two types of peer: hereditary and life. Hereditary peers are the true British aristocracy and have less representation in parliament than life peers who have been elevated by the government because of their birth, usefulness in politics, the law, religion, the community or industry. The British Aristocracy, mainly the life peers, are appointed by the government or as Law Lords, senior judges, plus a small number of Bishops who also sit in the Lords have a ruling power in the legislature of the House of Lords, the upper chamber of Parliament. The House of Lords still has considerable power & influence in UK politics and are seen as a necessary moderator.
