Our local library has a lot of old records where you can look up old census forms, if yours has something similar have a look there. If I remember rightly you're in Scotland so take a look at the Scotland's People site where they have all the census stuff as well - sadly that costs. For £10 you can access the records about 5 times (not sure exactly how many times you get for the tenner it's been a while since I looked) It might be best to start asking questions within your immediate family as a starting point though starting with your parents/grandparents and so on and working back from there. Happy hunting.
Have a look at FamilySearch.org it is a free site put together by the Mormon Church. I have found a lot of my early relatives on there. Other sites such as Ancestry and Genes Reunited you will have to pay. Your local library have computers where you can access Ancestry.com for free, as long as you have an idea of who you are looking for you can stay at the Library for a couple of hours for nothing. Church records and transcripts are sometimes put on-line I have found an excellent site giving details of the village in Leicestershire where my ancestors lived for around 200 years. Put your queries on here under Topics - History- Geneaology. There are some super people who are willing to help there.
