Subject: Shacker in 1911 census
Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2005 20:31:04 -0400


Hi everyone:

I thought I had asked this question in this link but I goofed as I often do.

I have come across the term "Shacker" in several pages of the census that I
have been transcribing in the Sydney census. We have lodger, roomer,
boarder and of course head and the family relationship.

Does shacker have something to do with the steel works or coal mining?

Cheers,
Wilf
