Mary was living with Edwin's father William Preece at the 1871 census, and with his widow Ann Howells at the 1881 census.
At 1901 census, the entry with her husband Henry James Ottewell as head has 'brother in law Edwin Price aged 23' in the household. This does appear to be Edwin Preece, tying Mary Ann Preece to Edwin Preece rather than any other of William Preece's sons.
Mary's date of birth ties in with the marriage date of Edwin Preece.
There was also a verbal account from Sarah Anne Ottewell (Mary's daughter), who described Eric Charles Preece as her cousin and Edwin Preece as her grandfather. This has been treated with some caution, due to the conflicting accounts of the name of Sarah Anne Ottewell's own mother (Mary / Anne / Ada), and the name of her father being plain wrong (recalled as I1259, was actually Henry James Ottewell).
Finally, for Edwin Preece's funeral, a newspaper account lists a Mr Ottewell as son-in-law.
