Elizabeth's birth cert would give you mother's maiden name

Can you find the birth reg for any of the children? I'd looked for Hannah Maria Brown, but couldn't spot one :-(
It wasn't compulsary to register a birth until about 1876

Edit - Hannah would have been born before 1837 civil registration. Silly me

You can't get a certificate, you can only use the parish records

use the family search site https://familysearch.org/

You can't. The best you can get is a baptism from the parish records which will probably give the first name of his mother, but not her maiden name. Then you can look for a marriage between xxx Brown and (first name). First of all see if there are earlier child baptisms to try and narrow down an approx year span

The marriage and baptism posted above have come from

https://familysearch.org/ which is free to use.

Another free site which also has transcribed PR is
http://www.freereg.org.uk/

Try googling for Tipton or Staffordshire parish records to see what else is available
