      Date and place from probate calendar

      Notice in Western Times - Tuesday 20 July 1880:
      "Issell. - July 12, at Baring House, Exmouth, Mr. Robert Issell, in his 80th year."
    Buried 19 Jul 1880  St. Margaret and St. Andrew’s Church, Littleham with Exmouth, Devon, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location 
    • From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 24 Nov 2014)
      Shown as abode Exmouth, aged 69

      Although the age does not agree, it is clearly wrong, as it was obviously the Robert whose death was reported in the newspaper as being in his 80th year, and family wills show the link to the Stokenham family.
    Bequest 1884 
    £300 
    • When his brother Thomas Efford Issell wrote his will in 1870 he left £300 to Robert, but only after his (TEI's) wife's death. This didn't occur until 1884, after Robert had also died so it would have been his beneficiaries who received the money, according to the terms of his own will.
      "I give and bequeath unto my Brother Robert Isssell the sum of Three hundred pounds"
