  	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"

  	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

  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
