Do you have anything on Cock Lorrell other than the above, Samuel Rowlands in Martin-Markall, and Jonson's _Gypsies Metamorphosed_? I'd like to be able to push it back a bit -- seems to be already a familiar name in 1510.
(I'm tangled in the origins of cant in the 1560s at the moment. Or 1530, if you count six lines at the end of Copeland's Spittal House.)
