Possible baptism for Althea is Alathea Hall 12 Mar 1797 Lichfield parents Alexanda Hall & Susannah. There is another for Althea Andrews around the same time.
From the marriage for James/Caroline you know that his father is James Dobson, looks like he was brought up by grandparents, this looks a likely birth reg only one for Walsall around that time, this should give you his mother.
