I don't know if you are just looking for details just of his death, but if you are looking for more information on him there are a few newspaper articles about a Harford Lury who lived in Southampton on Findmypast. This is a fee paying site, and so not allowed to give out information on Rootschat because of copyright issues. As it is quite an unusual name it could possibly be him.
regards.

There is an offer at the moment for www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk for a months subscription for £1.00. The promotion code is NEWS01.
There seem to be three articles referring to a Harford Lury of Bevois concerning his bankruptcy
Coomber, Scrimgeour, Shiel, Thiel,

In a street directory for Southampton there are three entries for Lury  including a firm of corn merchants and it shows Harford Lury at 4 Cranbury Place, Newtown [Newtown is a suburb] and another edition shows him at 7 Albion Terrace. [see Portcities website  Southampton street directories on Google].

A bankruptcy notice for 1890 see https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/26095/page/5388/data.pdf it shows Harford Lury corn merchant.
