Isabella died  15 Feb 1951 in Penicuik.

I don't know when William died

Assuming you have the death certificate for Isabella Allan Barrett does it say anything about her husband was he still alive ?

Do you have the death certificate? What was the address? Who was the informant? Have you tried the Electoral Register?

If he was alive could he have returned to London    There is this death entry but no date of birth - digital image available

Nice one did see Margaret Wootten on the 1921 but couldn't match it up with a Isabella Barrett 

As posted by ladyhawk did see William James Barrett in 1921 in England
