Usual Abode on Abney Park Cemetery Burial Register was Margaret Street, Haggerstone, Middx. The Name of the Officiating Minister, Date of Death Cert, & Registrar Name & District are blank - I don't know what the significance of these omissions is, & would be interested to know, if anyone has any ideas as to why
The records on the Abney Park Trust website (link below) indicate Margaret is in a public grave (B07:042219), so unlikely to have a headstone.

She was buried in Abney Park Cemetery, Stoke Newington, Middlesex, UK, on 20 Oct 1868. She lived at 57 Margaret Street, Haggerstone, Middlesex
Margaret Street was in Haggerston East sub-district.
In the GRO death indexes for Dec qtr 1868, Haggerston East death registrations seem to start on page 149 (in volume 1c). RD is Shoreditch.
From a couple of other burials found, it looks probable that, if she died at home, Margaret's death might be expected to be indexed on either page 149 or 150.
There should be 10 names with the GRO same reference, though FreeBMD have only 7 transcribed for page 149, and 8 for page 150.
Then have 10 transcribed for page 151. (Page 148 has only 6, the reason being that it looks to be the end of deaths registered in Haggerston West).
FreeBMD may have simply mistranscribed some page references or missed some entries that were indexed on those two pages, or there may be another reason.
Have you tried contacting Hackney Register Office?
The GRO indexes were not handwritten in 1868, they were printed.
