Lee Steere (sometimes hyphenated as Lee-Steere), is the surname of several prominent Western Australians:
The Lee Steere family were originally from Jayes, in Surrey, England. [1] [2] The family took the name Lee Steere in 1675 when John Steere (1649-1689 [3]) married Fiducia Lee in Plastoe, Surrey. [4] Members of the family continued to live in Jayes Park, Ockley. [5]
Not all of John Steere and Fiducia Lee's descendants had a separate given name with "Lee Steere" as a surname. One of the female descendants married Richard Witts and had a son named Lee Steere Witts, who later "assumed the name of Steere". [6] There are also records of family members named (for example) Lee Steere Steere and Sarah Steere Steere. [7] Others were known simply as "Lee Steere" (including the 1848 High Sheriff of Surrey).
