Since they were English, consider that they may actually have emigrated to Canada first. The fare from Liverpool was subsidized by the British government to encourage Protestant English population growth in Canada. A significant percentage of new arrivals then went on to the U.S. by crossing into Vermont or New Hampshire -- but those tended to stay in New England or Pennsylvania/New York. By the 1850s, others were crossing the Great Lakes from Ontario, landing mostly at Buffalo or Chicago. And Chicago isn't that far from Miami County.
Having said that, there are also various gaps in the passenger lists for New York, Philadelphia, and Boston, which would be the obvious points of debarkation for a direct crossing from Liverpool or Plymouth. I have a couple of Irish families that I'm pretty certain landed at Boston in the 1840s, but I've never been able to locate them in the ship lists.
On the whole puzzle of trans-Atlantic immigration, by the way, the very best source of genealogical information and methodology is They Came in Ships by John Philip Colletta. Phil is the recognized expert in this area. If you ever go to the NGS or FGS conferences, he's also an excellent speaker, and he teaches in the IGHR at Samford every year.
