Is The father John's age on the wedding certificate? If it is you can search the 1881 census as Mary Ann would have been 11. If it isnt then try estimating his age. Start with him being 18 in 1881, then 19, etc.
I did find this in the 1881 but the names are not quite the same and no wife showing .....
