Civil death registration ??

It’s possible she was left off the list when the Index was compiled, it has been known to happen. You could try Shaftesbury Register Office which is where the death would have been registered.

Elizabeth Bowles buried 24 Aug 1873, Gillingham, is one of the names on the last page for Shaftesbury deaths in the GRO index in Sep qtr 1873, (5a) 131.
Then Mary Ann's burial on 3 Sep.
The two after Mary Ann are Frederick Herbert Mullings and Sarah Smart, infants who were buried at Gillingham on 16 September. Their death registrations are both in the December quarter index, which seems rather late? Both Shaftesbury, vol 5a page 157.
As suggested, it might be worth inquiring locally on this occasion, if you haven't done so.
