Tinner Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
Tinner: a whitesmith—usually tinker and tinkler. There is an old ballad still sung by the Devonshire peasants of “The Maid and the Box.” She was serving in London, but desired to return to see her parents in Falmouth.
“Her master paid her wages, and Her wages were five pound.
She put the money in a box With flowers flourished round.
“She put the money in the box, She put in that her clothes; She set it all upon her head, And nimbly forth she goes.
“She had not walked very far, The space was scarce a mile, Before a tinkler she espied Was lying at a stile.”
The tinkler requires her to set down the box, that he may examine its contents, and to hand him the key. She does this; but as he lays aside his stick and budget, that he may open the box, she “Seized the walking-stick And struck him sharp a knock.
“She struck the tinkler on the head, She struck him strokes full three, And ne’er a word he spoke or stirred; The tinkler - still lay he.”
Of her further adventures, and of how she married the Squire, I have not space to tell, the ballad consisting of sixteen double verses. A surname is Tingler.
