Notes

William seems to have been one of the last of the Tomlyns, whose fortunes had declined from their prominent position in 15th-century Winslow. He was buried on 20 Dec 1669. He was probably the William son of Anthony and Ellen Tomlin who was baptised on 30 Oct 1641 and married Mary Hill on 23 April 1664. They had a son Edward, bap. 18 March 1664/5.

skife: the reading of the letter(s) between "s" and "ife" is uncertain. The writer may have meant "sieve" or "shelf".

Cives: the v is uncertain, but the writer probably meant "civers".

dowtree: the reading is fairly certain but the meaning unknown - perhaps dough-trough?
