| Summary: | corker [PT]JW _carker_: This name was used to describe a person who liked to joke and play tricks to make others laugh - a person usually said to be a "barrel of fun." Usually it referred to an adult, but sometimes a young child might be referred to as "a young carker." Also, if mentioning a person who was a little bit 'bad' the name 'a bit of a carker' was used. My father used this name quite often and as early as I can remember. I noticed that my father's family used it more than my mother's family. My father's family settled as first 'livyers' at Ivanhoe.
