Anyone like to comment/help with the definition of a Staymaker, please?
My Staymaker was a young married man in Patrington, a village in rural East Yorks (he had migrated there from rural Lincolnshire). In the baptisms of many of his children (1790 to 1805) he is described as a staymaker. Later he becomes a baker and coal merchant, which is what he says he is in his will in 1841.
I can only find 'corset maker' as a definition. I am not really saying this is not possible but I have at the back of my mind some other meaning to do with hay ricks or some such??? It could be a more likely occupation?
