I looking for information for my cousin about her grandmother Lottie Priest born 24th April 1894 died 28th July 1953.
Her father and mother were Frederick Priest died 1914 and Hannah Smith daughter of Mary Smith.
Lottie was married 3 times
first to Samuel Crook marriage 24/12/1915.
2 children Mary and William.
William was born 1919 and died 1940.
Samuel died and Lottie married again to John Thomas Davies widower(his first wife was Elizabeth)
John had already 5 children Gladys,Jack,Alice,Tom,May Alice(died aged 4).
Lottie and John Davies had two children Stanley(my uncle) and Colin.
Sadly John died and Lottie married again this time to Joseph Watson also a widower who already had 3 children.? Ronald and Dorothy.
Could someone help me and find where Frederick and Mary Priest are on the 1901 census?

It does state Hannah as mother In law, so is she Annies mother? Could Annie and Fred be cousins perhaps?

Think she is on the 1891 at 77 Gorsty Hill RR
with a son Joseph Priest age 32
and Joseph calls one of his kids Frederick
she is down as mother
so if joseph is bro to Frederick
then she is mother
