I think I've found it!  I too have what looks like Plailer, in an 1871 Census in Buckinghamshire.  Most of the wives are listed as this, but on the previous pages they are Straw plailers, ie Straw plaiters.  Other occupations are Brushmakers, so a related occupation.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_plaiting.
