I need some kind of mnemonic device . . . .

Sometimes it's easier just to remember.
Two different men, two different ages. But how's this for a mnemonic? Thomas Cromwell was adviser to Thomas Wolsey and brought down Thomas More, same first name, so Old Noll was the other one. But as for the deeds, knowing the history of their respective eras in itself would include what each did and I'm not sure a mnemonic would serve to fill in such gaps.
