Cooper?

I agree with Mark. Though it could also be Coopersmith and therefore be Smith.

my maiden name is Webber which is a barrel maker. of course Cooper is more likely the correct answer.

Nickname Coop.

Didn't know this one. But, no matter - fun puzzle.

I was thinking Tapper, as in Jake. Don't brewers tap their kegs?

I'm pretty sure Webber (and Weber, etc) are derived from Weaver. A cooper is a barrelmaker, and they also made pails and buckets, very important tools of the time. Not all barrels were watertight. Barrels were the cartons of the day shipping all sorts of dry goods from tobacco to crackers ("sitting around the cracker barrel").

I was hoping for Brewer, of course...

I think Joe is right, too. I'm a Webster, which is somewhat different from Weber, but I've looked it up.

Another good one Brian

Good.
