Hi.

Welcome to Rootschat.

A good start is the familysearch website.     www.familysearch.org

 A Robert Baker was baptised 24 March 1564 son of William. Most early entries of this date only state father's name.

 Where does the date of 1511 come from.?  If that is for Joane Ellyot it would make her 43 years older than her husband.
Marriages of a Robert Baker in Georgeham are......

 1576 to Joane Blackmore
 1597 to Anne Perryman
 1608 to Eulalye Frye
 1648 to Ann Sparman

  Ancestry gives the same results.

Welcome to Rootschat 

There is a baptism for a Wyllyam Baker on 13 February 1542 at North Tawton.  Father is Roger.

North Tawton is about 32 miles away from Georgeham.

Don't forget that Parish Registers only started in England in 1538. They were introduced by Cromwell.

You can imagine that in those early days after they were introduced, they were probably hit and miss - also many will have been lost or damaged.
