As you say there are possible records in Birmingham of several children (baptism and burial) with parents Isaac and Mary. There does not seem to be any record for a marriage so one assumes that perhaps they came from out of the area. A search shows several "Sleighs" in Derbyshire for example. This makes it like looking for a needle in a haystack. The older records just often list a name so there is no occupation to help suggest a correct identification.

Hi Gennie, yeah my mother was one of the Salt dynasty, still trading as Salts Healthcare in Saltley. I put Emma Allen's family up here a while ago >

Anyone who watched BBC1 Songs of Praise this afternoon, which focussed on the RSPCA, might have heard a reference to Birmingham being made.
The Rev. Arthur Broome, 1779 - 1837, a Devonian from Sidmouth, was the vicar of Bromley by Bow. He and a few influential people banded together, on 16th. June 1824, to form the SPCA which, later after approval by HM Queen Victoria, became the RSPCA that we know today.
The initial meeting took place at the Old Slaughter Coffee Shop, an appropriate name for such a crusade, but was in fact named after an owner. This incidentally was in St. Martins Lane, London.
There is a little confusion about his place of death, some reports say The Bull Ring, Birmingham others Bull Street, Birmingham. It seems he had become an itinerant preacher and had found much to do there.
There is a record in the Anglican cathedral of St. Philips in Birmingham but the date they quote on their web site says 1834 whereas all other years quoted for his death are 1837, just four days apparently before Queen Victoria became queen.

That confirms all other details I have seen Janice. However the following is the extract I quoted in my previous post on the St. Philips web site.

Reverend Arthur Broome the founder of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was buried here in 1834, only a record in the registers survives. He died whilst living as a penniless itinerant preacher in nearby Bull Street.
