Hi All,
The nature of my Great Grandfather's (John 'Jack' Blythman) death has always been a bit of a mystery in my family and I finally got around to ordering a copy of his death certificate recently. I've managed to decipher all but the actual cause of death. I know it happened 3 November 1941 at Britannia Steelworks, where he was a 'roof sheeter' in the Bridge Yard. I know it was reported by Edith Blythman, his widow, who was apparently 'in attendance' (my Nana -his daughter- told a different story). Can anyone help me with cause of death please? The family story was that it was a work accident but that it was blamed on something else, meaning that the family received no compensation and were from then on living in poverty. I can see something about his heart here, I think?

And here is Jack and Edith Blythman:
