During the centuries that followed, the Tomkins surname spread throughout Ireland, becoming particularly prevalent in regions such as County Wexford, County Kilkenny, and County Waterford. Many individuals with the name Tomkins were involved in various trades and professions, ranging from agriculture and fishing to skilled craftsmanship.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, numerous individuals bearing the surname Tomkins emigrated from Ireland to other parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, and Australia. These individuals sought new opportunities and a better life, leaving their mark on their new homelands.
