Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.

If that's the correct census record, her surname is actually REED - mistranscribed.

I don't see any likely death record after 1910 for a Harriet Reed (or variation) on FreeBMD, going by age .

Here's her marriage:

Marriages Mar 1861 (>99%)
Mason Harriet Amia Clerkenwell 1b 56
Reed James Clerkenwell 1b 567

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

Harriet reed daughter is Clara angles pooles in the 1911 census Harriet name was transcribed as reeds this was a mistake.

ArgyllGran Report 8 Apr 2013 18:14

There's this slight possibility:

EDIT:

Deaths Mar 1927 (>99%)
Read Harriett 86 Edmonton 3a 718

I'm picking that one because daughter Clara died in Edmonton registration district:

Deaths Jun 1925 (>99%)
Pooles Clara A 57 Edmonton 3a 529

In 1918 electoral lists, Clara is listed at the 1911 address with her husband, but Harriet does not show there.

Shirley

Shirley Report 8 Apr 2013 19:40

Yes I guess it would be wise to assume Harriet dies between the 1911 census and the 1918 electoral roll but I have been unable to locate. Harriet daughter retires to guernsey so it possible Harriet may have gone there but unable serch these records online I think.

Have you considered that Harriet might have remarried?
Unlikely, I know, but when I 'lost' someone, we were surprised to find her re marrying aged 82 !
