Thought could have been a missing entry there myself, Mack, however, look at this 1881 census ... shows William Henry Knight again as being born in America, as does his sister Ann Knight. Mary Ann was born in Clayton.
John Knight born in Warrington: Ellen Knight in Preston.
Looks like your Great Great Grandparents did at one time spend some time in America.
