Beere (Co Tipperary)

Members of the Beere family were solicitors and land agents. Richard Beere, fourth son of Thomas Beere of Lisheveen, county Tipperary and Mary Mase entered the King's Inns in 1813. His affidavit was sworn by Usher Beere. Usher Beere held approximately 560 acres at Liskeveen, barony of Eliogarty, county Tipperary in the mid 19th century. The Beeres were related to the Goings who held the rest of this large townland. Usher Beere was subsheriff of county Tipperary in 1817. In 1837 Lewis refers to the residence of R. Beere at Liskevin. In the 1870s the representatives of Richard Beere of Dublin owned 24 acres in county Tipperary.
