Where else can I look for a death/burial record.

There is in Ancestry a 'Joyce Family Tree' [owner 'thecrowfamily'] which has Harriett's death as Oct 1969 in Bexley.

However, there is no supporting source document attached to this entry.

By the by, I see what you mean about Aunt Ett having a very colourful life - if the news reports in April 1930 regarding her husband Richard's alleged decapitation on a railway line are anything to go by!

Thanks for the pointer to the tree but I had already spotted this and similarly been unable to find any supporting data. I have contacted the tree owner but no reply.

....and i have found another newspaper article and court case relating to an unreported still birth!

The Harriett Taylor who died in Bexley in 1969 had a birthday three months later than your Harriett.

People tend not to tell outright lies about the time of year they were born, so this seems a very unlikely candidate.

That has been my experience as well....especially as we move into the 20th C. Maybe a day or two but not months.
