When you delete camera roll photos, it doen't reduce your iCloud storage because camera roll photos are only stored on your device.  It will reduce the size of your next backup though because the camera roll is included in the backup.  (Deleting photo stream photos won't make any difference because they are not stored in your iCloud account.)  That's why I was asking if you saw a reduction in the estimated size of your next backup after deleting camera roll photos.  You can see the estimated size of your next backup by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, then tap the name of your device under Backups and look under Backup Options.  This same screen gives you a list of the amount of data being used by the camera roll and your apps in the next backup, with the option to exclude these from the backup.
Deleting email should reduce your iCloud storage as it is stored in your iCloud account.
You're probably going to have problems backing up 4 devices to the same iCloud account without purchasing additional storage.  Most device backups are in excess of 1GB.  Four device would probably exhaust your free 5GBs of storage, leaving you no room for email, contacts, calendars, notes and other synced data.  If you don't need to share the same data with all four devices, another option would be to migrate some (or all) of them to separate accounts, giving them 5GB of free storage each.  Another option would be to backup some of the device to your computer using iTunes rather than iCloud.
