Try here and if there is no reponse then repost it on the appropriate county boards.  I will have a look for you if you post it here.  I might not see it on another board!

Post them on the county board you think they were living in. :)Give as much detail about ages and places of birth of the people you have, it will make searching easier. :)
I'm sure someone will be able to help

Zeb I think some of 1891 transcription of some parts of Birmingham are on the web free courtesy of local family history society so may be able to locate family there.
