Search for exactly what please? you can find BMD,s on FreeBMD up to c1940,they are transcribing new ones all the time. Later info can be found on one of the paying sites like Ancestry or Find My past

pre 1841 you would need Parish records .you can try the IGI on Family Search site and their Pilot records.Post 1911 theres no general site that will list families. Local records Offices wil have Electoral Rolls but you need addresses to search and would only show 21.s and over, and men only till the womens vote came in.
