Annie Viret b 1842 married William Lant Carpenter 1841-1890. When did she die?

That 1891 census you have looks good.  Looking at the image reveals the head to be Sister Superior in charge of Diocesan Penitentiary.

Annie is listed as an assistant embroideress, widow, age 49, birthplace London.

There is a death record for her husband as below:-

Deaths Dec 1890   
Carpenter    William Lant    49    Hendon    3a   130

There is a probate record for him in 1891.

Thank you.
So where did Annie (Grace?) Carpenter née Viret go after 1891?
 
Annie, Sophia and brother Charles have records on the GRO with mother's maiden name Harper, but ..
Another tree on Anc***** has their mother as Mary Ann Cort. Cort is a name that appears later in the family, so this is credible, but is she the same person as Ms Harper?
Charles Viret Sr and Mary Ann Cort were born around 1802 so they could quite easily have been married before.
There's also a marriage record for a Charles Viret and a Mary Linders in Tetsworth, Oxfordshire in 1840.
Hmmm

Don't know if it is significant but there is a passport application in April 1896 for a Mrs. A. Viret.  Is this Annie or someone else? 

There is also one for an Annie Viret on 13 October 1859 no. 11854.  Not well up on passports so don't know if it is possible to view the original application.

He committed suicide, there are a few newspaper articles online

I'm looking again at the parents of Annie, Sophia, Charles and Mary Ann (born and died 1845) Viret -
Charles Viret and Mary Ann.
I haven't found a marriage record for a Mary Ann Harper/Harpur/Cort.
In fact, I haven't seen the Cort connection at all. It's in the other tree on Anc*****.

P.S. The links I've seen referring to William Lant Carpenter's suicide require a subscription, so I haven't read a full account.

Sorry, in a bit of a rush, but looking at the GRO Index,   the brother Charles VIRET, born 1840 in Thames Union could be the one

registered : D Qtr 1839, THAME UNION, Mother's maiden name: HARPER  also Ann VIRET - mother's maiden name: HARPER 1842, London

"Annie, Sophia and brother Charles have records on the GRO with mother's maiden name Harper, but ..

Yes. I have the four children with mmn Harper or Harpur.
