Any suggestions?

If it's meant to be corvizer - that is another word for a shoemaker/cordwainer. I saw this once in an old Malpas register, and have never forgotten it.

Thanks to Megan for asking the question and to those who answered. I have never met that word. I like learning new words, cicilysmith
