On the useful FreeBMD site there are the following entries for the following people who were from Walkley in Sheffield
Surname First name(s) Mother District Vol Page
Births Dec 1915
Mountain Blanche Egginton Ecclesall B 9c 830
Births Dec 1912
Glossop Frederick W Green Ecclesall B. 9c 813
Deaths Dec 1932
Glossop Frederick W 20 Ecclesall B. 9c 343
And this cutting from The Manchester Guardian dated 23rd November 1932 reports on how it ended
Unusually the report does not state where the accident took place.
But three years later the same FreeBMD has the following entry for Blanche
Marriages Sep 1935
Burton Joseph C Mountain Sheffield 9c 1151
Mountain Blanche Burton Sheffield 9c 1151
and then these two entries
Births Sep 1937
Burton Brian J Mountain Sheffield 9c 694
Births Mar 1939
Burton Beatrice RMountain Sheffield 9c 542
And so with at least two children to bring up Blanche had over 30 years of married life to Joseph before she too died
Name Blanche Burton
Year of Registration 1967
Quarter of Registration Jan-Feb-Mar

Age at Death: 51 Volume Number 2D Volume Page 202
I wonder if she ever thought of Fred Glossop or told her children of what happened in November 1932?
