Can anyone shed any light on the use of the
first name LINER for a Male?
I have a great grandfather named LINER C.
WALKERwho 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
