Harry was at least 56 years, or using birth date given on his death certificate 64 years. It seems he had no significant employment after 1919. As there was no government pension as we know it in 1920 what income he and Daisy had would be limited. Daisy appears to have had some income as she is shown on electoral rolls as an artist.
