... and before the year 1837, the following seems to apply:
"Parish records, primarily baptisms, marriages, and burials, are the best source of vital record information before the nineteenth century. Before Civil Registration began in 1837 key events in a person’s life were typically records by the Church rather than the State. Starting in the sixteenth century, parish records are some of the longest running records available."

To help - what else do you have that narrows these names to these places of birth ?

I would use the "official" Govt route to order your cert
