Old Occupation Description Help

[GaryBH]

Hi, I have just found out that one of my Ancestors is listed in the Middlesex Baptisms as having an occupation called ' Jockeyman'. I cannot find a description for what this type of work would entail.
Anyone throw any light on this? What would the work have involved? The family as far as I can tell used to be involved in farming.

I couldn’t find jockeyman as an occupation. Could it be journeyman?

What year was the baptism. Was he described in the same way in other baptisms or other records.

Thanks for the response.
I don't have access to the original record, but the transcription lists him as definitely 'Jockeyman'.

When and where, and who is it.
Others may have access to the original record.

I have ancestors shown in England Census with the occupation Jockeyman. Was there a definitive answer to this?
