Bob, A Mary Hannah BURGESS is on the 1911 census at Romiley (adjacent to Bredbury) aged 51, wife of Edward. However she is recorded as being born in Stockport so it may be that this is the person whose death you found on ChesBMD and that she is not the one you are looking for. The oldest child on the 1911 census was born about 1891 so the marriage may have been about that date but there had been 2 other children who had died before 1911. Check for a marriage for Edward to a Hannah around 1880-1890. I also suggest checking earlier censuses to confirm the birth location. A school headmistress would perhaps be more likely to be unmarried and as you have a birth date (as BURGESS?) it would suggest that she was a spinster at death.
