I wonder if this is Harriet in 1901?  The age is out but I can't find another Harriet LIVINGSTONE born in Wrexham that would fit, she would be single as her marriage to Leopold would have been invalid.

Institution name:  Manchester Workhouse Crumpsall

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X9VL-SYM


Unfortunately it looks like "no records of inmates survived prior to 1907. However a small proportion of inmates in Crumpsall can be found in the New Bridge Street creed registers 1881 to 1914"

This looks like a helpful website,

Well considering her circumstances back in Wrexham its possibly her.
I looked for Bennett families in Wrexham around her birth year and there were a few in the census for 1861 onwards but none with a Harriet.  I wonder if she used another  name,  did she know Leopold was already married,  he was a well known man in the Wrexham area and had lived in Broughton for quite a while.
There's some interesting bits about him in the Wrexham Advertiser
Why did they marry in Chorlton then return to Wrexham.  Was she really from Wrexham.
Ive not found a death for a Harriet Livingstone,  I wonder if she went back to Bennett.
Leopold married again in 1904 , he wasn't legally married to Harriet.  I wonder if Sarah had died by then.

So many questions.
Thank for helping
