Just as a note of caution, Brownhills has its own parish church, so it might just be worth checking its records in case there is another Simeon Lyon baptized there.
Hi Bob you could try the walsall Local History Centre http://www.walsall.gov.uk/localhistorycentre/ as all i could find on churches in Brownhills is st james and i don't think that opened until about 1850
