I have come across some of my ancestor's employment as cow keepers what were cow keepers in regards to today's terminology.

"COWKEEPER Kept one or more cows (a common source of livelihood in cities) when a cow was kept in the back yard of a house, providing milk which was sold at the front door or window, forerunner of the local dairy" http://www.worldthroughthelens.com/fami ... ations.php
