Hi

Welcome to rootschat

Have you looked at any possible transcripts on freereg 
https://www.freereg.org.uk/

also familysearch
https://www.familysearch.org/hr/search

Some local libraries have free access to Ancestry and often FindMyPast as well

So my family tree  my surname wicks changes to wickes some where around 1760/80 and there are loads of wickes and wicks in the 5 villages from 1681 onwards where or how do you start seeing if they are all family ☺

You can visit the local archive or library that covers these villages. There is no charge to do this but you may need to book depending on the place you are visiting. You can then look through the micro film covering each parish and put together the families. It takes time but that’s what is required when looking at parish records. I have relatives who have their surname spelt many different ways. Sometimes you have to accept that it is a possible relative but you will never have a definite connection due to lack of additional records during this time period.
