Genealogy / Searching for the meaning and possible location of the name: Pelafker from Galicia [8]

I am searching for the name Pelafker which is my Grandfather's name born 1869 who moved to London and had a large family.

On the UK census of 1911 he was living in Stepney London and had 7 children.

He died in in 1935 and I have applied to get a death certificate to find if we can see any more information about his exact birthplace.

On the Census form he wrote that he is from Galicia Austria.

Any ideas about this name and we know from maps that Galicia was a huge territory in its day but we believe he was actually Polish by modern standards and guessing from we have seen that it could be from near Krakow.

We cannot find this name, anywhere in our research in Poland - only in the UK Census and UK archives.

Many thanks in advance.

Regards

Alan
