Though John Harlington doesn’t get a
mention by name in the local newspaper, the
Hull Daily Mail, in the weeks after the loss of
the Broomfleet and its crew there are
numerous articles about fund-raising for the
families, services and memorials. It appears
his body was never recovered.
In 1939 John Harlington’s widow, Gladys, was still living at 66 Jackson St, Goole, apparently with
her daughter and her widowed sister Annie Moore White (née Crabtree) who also had a child.
At the time of the 1911 Census Annie and her husband Herbert White, a Railway Clerk, were
living close by at 71 Jackson St.
Gladys Harlington died in 1972 in Stourbridge, Worcestershire.
