Tomkins of London and Quakers

[K Rees]

I am researching one Tomkins of London family, who were joyners in the Moorfields and Petty France [streets], Parish of St. Botolph Bishopsgate and followers of the Quaker Movement out of both the Bull and Mouth and Devonshire House Meetings in the mid to late 1600s. Apprenticeships link them to Tysoe, Warwickshire and Milcomb, Oxfordshire.

I need an approximate age of this William Tomkins who died in 1664.

Transcription:
Prisoners  John Wilkinson & William Tomkins having both been prisoners in Moorgate for the testimony of truth and there contracted through the new friends of the place violent flockings when of they both died the 9th. day of the 7th. months 1664 and was intended to be buried in the said grounds of Friends. But least the works of wickedness of the duty officers should be seen. The City Marshall floats their bodies at Midnight from the Bull and Mouth and buried shein at Annes Steeplehouse.
