You need to work on what you do know. You have your birth cert? You have your parents marriage certificate? That will give their parents names, keep working backwards until you get to someone who will show up on the 1901 census. But in the meantime, who are you looking for and where? The cost of searching records on here is very expensive. Births, marriages and deaths can be found free on ancestry or on freebmd (though on freebmd the records arent complete). The 1881 census is free on familysearch.org or ancestry.
