As you're only just starting in the U.K. I suggest you go to http://www.genuki.org.uk where you will find lots of help and advice about family research. Note that it is fairly easy to get back to 1837 by searching the Office for National Statistics' (ONS) birth, marriage and death (BMD) indices at http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl for details then buying a few certificates. Have a look see at http://www.gro.gov.uk/ where you can find out about ordering certs from the GRO.
For research on the 1841, 1851, 61, 71, 81, 91 and 1901 censuses and complete ONS BMD plus other sources, it is very worthwhile having a yearly subscription to Ancestry.com which is not overly expensive.
The Mormon church (Church of Latterday Saints - LDS) have photographed hundreds of thousands of parish records (PR's), Bishop's Transcripts of PR's (BT's for presentation to the Bishop) and many other records. Church members and others have extracted the information from many of the films and batches of that extracted data are available for searching at :-

Note that the Ancestry site is FREELY available to LDS Family History Rooms so you do not have to subscribe to Ancestry if you can get to one.
Although not strictly a site for family history, at http://www.old-maps.co.uk you can download free 100 year old Ordnance Survey maps drawn at six inches to the mile, they certainly add interest to family history research.
I'm related to a Jane Pacey the mother of a Jane Gardiner who was born in Bisley Gloucestershire in 1794.
Best of luck
Lionel
