Records before 1837

[minack]

Help for a Newbie please.  I have been researching for 4 months and am going great guns but now the further I get back,, the more challenging it is becoming.  I live in Australia and want to know how much can the internet be used for records before the magic 1837.  I cannot find evidence of a birth of my gggrandfather.  Born in Lambeth in 1836.  Would the records be available on line (at least the index) and can I trace my ggggrandfather's marriage (1816 ish)  on line?  So many questions and so many puzzles?  Should I ask someone to look it up for me or can I do it myself?  Tell me I am not the only one floundering!!
