Help with Jacobs family records in "All Pennsylvania and New Jersey Church & Town Records, 1669-1999" on Ancestry

Question

Can a paid-up member of Ancestry look up birth records for the following 4 Jacobs siblings, all believed born in Slatetown, Pennsylvania?

1. [Jacobs-7880|Ivern Anthony Jacobs] believed born 1857

2 .[Jacobs-7771|Alma Elizabeth Jacobs] believed born 5 Feb 1859, possibly Alme in record

3. [Jacobs-4236|Lilini Inkerman Jacobs] believed born 22 April 1860,possibly Silini in record

4. [Jacobs-7881|Oscar Jacobs] believed born Jan 1862.

They were all children of [Jacobs-7877|James Sibly(Sibley?) Jacobs] and [Edwards-17983|Sarah Ann Edwards],both born in Cornwall, England, migrated to America about 1850-1855?, married in Easton, Northampton, Pennsylvania on 24 May 1856 (confirmation required), and who then emigrated to Australia in 1863. Any help greatly appreciated.

Here is Alma's baptism record.  I didn't see any for Ivern.  I will post any others I see.  If you'd like any of the original's I can email them to you if you private message me.

Thanks for your efforts Gwen. Great photos!

I had most of the data but I was unable to verify the source. Mary has sent me a copy of the document covering Alma Elizabeth and Lilini but I am still looking for documents covering Ivern and Oscar's birth and baptism and the marriage of James Sibly Jacobs to Sarah Ann Edwards.

No problems, Gwen.

One question about the photo of Ivern Anthony Jacobs. Do you know which Ivern Anthony this is? I would assume it's for Lilini's brother, born 1857, but it could be for his son, born 1884.

Are you happy for me to add these photos to the appropriate profiles?

 It's for Lilini's brother and Yes you can add them if you like. I think I added James photo last night. I am so tired I dont remember.
