Seems she is still unmarried in 1883. 

The Wrexham Advertiser April 21, 1883
School Board Cases. Priscilla Davies find 5s for neglecting to send her child to school.

Wrexham School Board. Special attention was made to the case of William H Davies, the son of Priscilla Davies , Mount Street ( and other children)  inasmuch that the children were habitually absent from school and parents seemed to have no control over them.

Gadget, I too thought Priscilla married Hollamby but then found this incorrect.
I can see why you think the 1871 could be her. William Henry married and died in Blackrod which is a stones throw from Wigan. Did the family have some connection here?
The 1861 has Priscilla aged 9 but all the siblings ages match. I wonder if this Priscilla died and another daughter was named Priscilla? 
If I could find her and William Henry on the 1891 it could help.

Wilcoxon,  I was really excited when I first read your information as it all seemed to fit but as William Henry was born 1881 ( I have the certificate) I doubt he would be at school in 1883.
What it does show is that there was more than one Priscilla with a son called William Henry.

Thanks to you both for your input as I need all the help I can get.       SVB

Hi

There is a Priscilla Davies dying Wigan the year after, if I recall correctly - I checked before putting up the census details. 
As I said, I'm sure this family has been discussed before but so far I've not found it via Search.

Re the William Henry Davies that is mentioned in the newspaper clips:

Added - note the 3 year old brother, William Henry Davies, on the 1871.

I think that the mother, Mary, might well have also called herself Priscilla - memories of that other thread are coming back to me - no time to search for it though.

PS - I discounted the Hollamby one very early on.
