"bracker" - is this a job, profession or a spelling mistake?

[paw42]

A direct ancestor, Jonathan Parmley a lead miner, probably born in Garrigill, Alston in 1777, was married in Linton Parish Church in 1803 - (Grassington, Yorkshire).

The entry in the parish register starts;

August 16th - Jonathan Parmley (26) bracker & miner, & Suesanah Frankland (24)

I have been unable to find bracker as the name of any form of employment. However the word exists today as a surname. A surname derived from an occupation?

Can anyone suggest a meaning for bracker?

Thanks
