Name John Thomas Efford (“Thomas”) ISSELL Relationship with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 26 Aug 1849 Dartmouth, Devon, England - GRO ref: Issell, John Thomas Efford q3 1849 Totnes RD 9 466; GRO online index shows mother's maiden name as Hillond, must be a mis-reading of Kellond at some stage
Actual date from Canadian death record (date not in baptism register, only baptism on the page without dob)
Baptised 24 Oct 1849 Dartmouth, Devon, England - From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 24 Nov 2014)
Privately, in St. Saviour's Parish
Gender Male Residence 1851 Higher Street, Dartmouth, Devon, England - With his parents and older brother George
Education Scholar 1861 Dartmouth, Devon, England Residence 1861 Hanover Square, Dartmouth, Devon, England - With his widowed mother and brother George
Emigrated Between 1871 and 1879 - Between the 1871 census and his marriage
Occupation Draper's assistant 1871 Residence 1881 9, Phoebe Street, Toronto, York, Ontario, Canada - When he registered the birth of his son John
Bequest A third of £50 1884 - When his uncle Thomas Efford Issell wrote his will in 1870 he left £50 to be shared between Thomas and his cousins Robert and Thomas Issell, but only after his (TEI's) wife's death. This didn't occur until 1884.
"I give and bequeath unto Thomas Issell and Albert Issell Sons of Robert Issell late of Slapton aforesaid deceased and to Thomas Efford Issell Son of John Issell late of Dartmouth deceased the sum of Fifty pounds to be equally divided between them"
Occupation Clerk 1888 Toronto, York, Ontario, Canada - when son George born
Residence From 1921 to 17 Mar 1923 113½, Lansdowne Avenue, Toronto, York, Ontario, Canada - His death record showed that he had lived at this address for 2 years and also that he had been suffering heart failure for 2 years - it seems likely the health problem led to the move.
Died Cause: Myocardial degeneration 17 Mar 1923 113½, Lansdowne Avenue, Toronto, York, Ontario, Canada Buried 19 Mar 1923 Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada - From Canadian dth record (seen image on Ancestry, 27 Feb 2013)
Notes - Signed his name J. Thomas E. Issell, when the birth of his son John was registered, so I assume he was known as Thomas, although he signed as John T E when daughter Nora was registered.

Wills (transcripts) The will of John's* great uncle, Thomas Efford Issell
John was left a third of £50.
This after the death of Thomas's wife, which occured in 1884, but John had emigrated to Canda before then so may not have received his inheritance.
* - his uncle simply refers to him as Thomas Efford Issell, so maybe he was known as Thomas rather than John - it would have avoided confusion with his father
