There are not so many parish records online.  You might be lucky with freereg.org, but I think you really need to see the original registers as they have much more information than transcripts.

I don't know where you are, but you can order microfilm of many parish records for a small fee at your nearest LDS family history centre.

The main LDS centre in London has masses of stuff on site.

Alternatively, you may find there's a Sussex family history association that has indexes and may offer searches for a small amount.

Or you might want to save up to go to the relevant archives.

Paddington information will be at the Westminster Archives.
Chowns in Buckinghamshire
Broad, Eplett & Pope in St Ervan/St Columb Major, Cornwall
Browning & Moore in Cambridge, St Andrew the Less
Emms, Mealing & Purvey in Cotswolds, Gloucestershire
Barnes, Dunt, Gray, Massingham in Norfolk
Higho in London
Matthews & Nash in Whichford, Warwickshire
Smoothy, Willsher in Coggeshall & Chelmsford, Essex
