Worryingly, the most obvious entry is this one:
Deaths Dec 1897
Harris Sarah Ann 65 Lambeth 1d 293
But that would mean she had died within a few days of her marriage (21 Dec) and there would need to be time to register the death in the same quarter. Still possible though. There are no other likely deaths in Lambeth before 1901, so if that's not her, then she died somewhere else which could make finding her tricky as Harris is such a common name.

Perhaps it was a deathbed marriage? Did her widower leave a will?
