Find Ancestors

I have several members of the same family I am trying to find in Staffordshire 1891/1901 censuses. Any and all help will be appreciated as I'm going to visit my mum's cousin on Friday and I want to show her as much as I can about the family tree because I don't see her often. All ages given are approximate. The extra info is mostly from the 1881 census. The place of birth is usually Derbyshire or Longton, but they will all be residing around Stoke on Trent. - 1891: Levi BIRKS, age 51, publican.
