1901 census shows only one Peare in Waterford, Wm F Peare. He is not in Catherine St. on that date, but he is listed as a Motor Car Manufacturer, not a common trade at the time. By 1911 he is in Newtown, married to local woman Hester, and father of six. He is listed as Managing direct Motor and Electrical Engineer.

I suspect a close perusal of Page 7 of the Irish Times of Friday September the 6th 1901 might yield some interesting details.
