Know the county: Be sure to check when county boundaries changed, so that you're looking in the right place for your ancestor's records.
Know the parish, too: As in most countries, you'll need to know the parish to find your ancestors in church records. Many of the websites of county record offices list the parishes found in the county.
Check civil registrations: Civil registrations began in England July 1, 1837. At that time the country was divided into 27 regions, then into 618 districts, then into subdistricts with local registrars.
