Why not send for her marriage certificate this should hopefully give you details of her father's name and that will make it easier to search for census info

Looking at the 1901 census she's 36 years old. So she was 30 when she got married to Alfred Downing.
Perhaps this was not her first marriage and that TILLY was not her maiden surname.

Her marriage certificate and the birth certificate of any of the children will tell you the answer to that question.

However, there is a clue to her origins in the 1901 census where a cousin is shown with Alfred and Annie. That cousin has the surname RANDALL.

I think it likely that Annie was Annie Randall who married George TILLY and later married Alfred, but the certificates will tell you.
