I presume this is the 1881 census referred to

1881 England Census
Civil parish: Tyldesley cum Shakerley
County/Island: Lancashire
Country: England
Street Address: 3 Engine House
Registration district: Leigh
Sub-registration district: Atherton

James Heyes 28 Tyldesley, Lancashire, England Head M Cotton Operative
Mary A. Heyes 29 Tyldesley, Lancashire, England Wife M Cotton Operative
Eliz. Heyes 2 Tyldesley, Lancashire, England Daughter

However, I don't see the Mary Ann Kniverton bit - this is clearly Mary Ann Valentine.
