Hi,
What records you need depends on what religion they were.
Below relates to Roman Catholic and other Christian denominations. For a guide to researching Jewish records see
https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Poland_Jewish_Records
I did not find any online records at
https://www.szukajwarchiwach.gov.pl/
but you may wish to check yourself.
Here's a link to what is available at familysearch.org for Roman Catholic

Unfortunately for the dates you are interested in, you would need to view via a family history centre. The earlier records are free to view on the above site by clicking on the camera.I suppose you could look to see if there were any mention of your family names, but they may not necessarily have come from that village.
You can find a centre here

I would start with the birth. I am waiting for RC Polish records I am interested in to be online, so can't tell you exactly what the records will contain, but if they are like the ones I have been looking at in Bohemia, you might find the parent's place of origin in the child's baptism. I find in my research that usually the marriage took place at the bride's parish.
Otherwise you could contact the archive which holds the records directly - more about how to do this is on the above link, and is also mentioned in the tutorial on how to use the Polish website I mentioned.see under "Online searchable databases".
Good luck.
