Can anyone shed any light on the use of the
first name LINER for a Male?

---

I have a great grandfather named LINER C. WALKER
who shows up in both the marriage register for
Yorkshire, England in 1890 and independently
in the 1901 Census.

---

He is recorded as aged 38 in 1901 and so was born around 1863.
The Census entry indicates that he was born overseas.

---

Since WALKER is a common English name I wondered if LINER
is a known name favoured in some other part of the world
around 1863.

---

Neglecting the jocular response that he may have been born at
sea and christened LINER after the boat , if anyone has any
knowledge of the use of this name I would be delighted to hear
from them.

Thanks
