Hi John,
Info is a bit thin to know what to suggest.

Was Harriet a child  when she died or an adult?

Is TANNER he maiden name of her married name?
Have you found her in 1851/1861 census which should give some idea of her age.

Just a few ideas.

Hello again,

I have just noticed that, unusually, they have 2 entries for the burial of Harriet Tanner on Freereg. One is under Harriet TANNER, the other as Harriett TANNER. The dates and ages agree and I am certain it is the same person.

The second entry shows that she died in the Workhouse, it states, "Workhouse Death Register" the date is the same, 20 November 1860. She is aged 48 and it states, " buried Trinity Church by friends".

I don't know of you have her baptism but this looks to be it.

24 July 1812, baptised Harriet TANNER, daughter of Thomas and Harriet TANNER.
