On being a muppet

Is this the Thomas Shewell, buried Henbury, 16 April 1770?

Derby Mercury, 27 April 1770
Died
At the Hot Wells, Bristol, Thomas Shewell; of Hadley, in Middlesex.

What's the source of your being able to say that the Henbury Thomas Shewell was in his "mid forties"?

Images for Monken Hadley PRs for the period are on Anc, but I found them a long-winded way. Looking up Mary Shewell, buried Monken Hadley. At the top of the second page, item 21 she is shown as Maria Shewell buried 1725 St Mary the Virgin Monken Haadley. That takes you to the images. I then moved forward page by page up to the 1770s. But my poor old eyes could not find him.
