I am trying to find out information about the Parents of John Baker,
Christened in Ewhurst 15-02-1729. John Married Francis Milham 23-04-1752.
I have no information about John's Parents (believed to be James and Susanne Baker) and his grand parents (names unknown).
I have no idea how far this family goes back. I live south of Perth on the West Coast of Australia and find chasing English records very difficult from this area.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

I assume this is Ewhurst near Cranleigh in Surrey.
You might be more succesful if you post a message to the Surrey board.
In general terms, as you are so far beyond the widely-accessible records (i.e. censuses and civil registation), you really need to locate the parish records and probably a local history society.

No, I belive these Bakers came from Ewhurst in Sussex.
This is my first post on this board so I'm just learning my way around

I'm sure the folks on the Sussex board will be able to advise you.
I appreciate your geographical difficulties; I'm in the right hemisphere, but not exactly close to any parish records either.
My tip would be to provide as much info as you can when you post a message.
Good luck.
