Help please! I am quite new to researching my family tree & I am at a loss with finding any records of my great grandparents. I have my grandma's birth certificate (registered in Eton 1903) and a bible which was given to my great-grandfather when he was 21 (born in c.1876). Sadly I do not have much more information to go on other than their names. Their last known address was Slough or Brighton, Sussex. I would appreciate any tips.
Many thanks!

I would have thought that you should find out the year your grandma left England.Before the census in 1911 or after.
If after then search the 1911 and everything you want to know may be there.
