I used the other link and couldn't find them at first. I searched for Elizabeth Howard. When I found the transcript Wilfred Frederick and Jane have the surname PRIEST.

So FS is either wrong or the other site is. My bet is on FS. Try looking for H WILFRED PRIEST age 5

If you can see the image, we will know one way or the other. :(

Here (hopefully) is the image for the 1901 census...click on split screen at the top to see the image.

The transcript says Priest but the image looks like Smith to me. I'll leave it to you to judge the image.

I think the image looks a lot more like Priest than Smith.

The enumerator seems to have consistently put middle initial before given name. Maybe he was French-speaking; virtually all French abbreviations are the wrong way round to those of us with English as our first language.
Looking at ALSTON in south Ribble area, ALSTEAD and DONBAVAND/DUNBABIN etc. everywhere, HOWCROFT and MARSH in Bolton and Westhoughton, PICKERING in the Whitehaven area.

I'm looking at the image and I have my doubts about it being Smith.  S Frederick's occupation is farmer and H Wilfred's date of birth is given at 3rd October 1895 which would put this one out of contention if your Wilfred was born in 1896.

This Wilfred is stated as being Canadian so not British born.

The image is not a good one and it is quite difficult to read easily.  I thought that the S for son did not look like the first letter of the surname.

Well I'm not sure it's Priest either. Look at the surname PRIMROSE at the top of the page - that P looks nothing like the P in the 'Priest' name.

Girl guide look through the whole thread there is a possibility Wilfred or his family my have some American / Canadian background
