Help with Birth Place name

I don't think you have gone wrong at all. The person who was the informant for Harriet's death probably did not know her mother.  Death certificates often have wrong information.

The record I looked at is an image of the church register and her mother's name is definitely shown as "Celia". 

FreeBMD has a death in the March quarter, 1840 for a
Cecilia CROSS, registered at Kingsbridge, Vol 9, p 239.

The church records show Cecilia CROSS, 57, buried Dodsbrooke, 5 January 1840

There is a record (also Dodsbrooke church) of this marriage
John CROSS, sojourner, and Coelia SMITH, spinster, both resident Dodsbrooke,
Marriage date   17 Jun 1806
John signs his name, Celia marks a cross
Witnesses: Simon SMITH, William SINKINS, Elizabeth THORNING

Another sibling for Harriet
John, baptised 17 Nov 1808

(Elizabeth THORNING's baby is baptised earlier that year)

And another 2 siblings for Harriet:
William, baptised 16 Aug 1811, at Dodbrooke
Sarah, b 2 May 1825, baptised 10 May at Dodbrooke.  John's occupation here is given as 'husbandman'

Just putting the children as found so far of Richard and Celia/Cecilia CROSS in order:

John, 1808
William 1811
Charlotte, aged 2 years,  baptised 20 Dec 1815, thus b abt 1813
Mary - baptised 20 Dec 1815, no birthdate given
Harriet, 1818
Richard - b 31 October 1820, baptised 15 November 1820
Jane - b 23 Jan 1823, baptised 19 Feb, 1823. 
Sarah - 1825

Possible baptism for Harriet's mother; the date ties in with the age given for the burial above.
Celia SMITH, baptised 26 May 1783 at Dodbrooke
Parents: Simon, Agness
