Clifford, Reading between the lines they married about 1825 and left England about 1844. You really need some specific town in Staffordshire. I have a few suggestions. Marriage and births of Elizabeth , James and Thomas should be in Church Records on Family Search. After 1837, you'll find births in Civil Registrations on FreeBMD. They will also be in 1841 census. While 1841 doesn't show exact birthplace is will show if in or outside county. You may also find relatives living with them or nearby. From 1841 you will get an idea of age and birthplace of Sarah which might enable you to finr her birth on Family Search. Peter
