I know my password but forgot my email address

Haven't used this Google account for years. I remember the password exactly, just not the address. It might have my old surname in it. How do you look up an address?

Check your password manager or the browser's saved passwords too. If the password got saved anywhere, the username or email is saved right next to it - Chrome's is under Google Password Manager in settings. Failing that, ask someone you've emailed from it. It's in their inbox.

Which service is it for? Most of them have a "forgot email" or "forgot username" option on the sign-in page that finds the account from the phone number you added to it, so try that first. Before that though, check anywhere you might still be signed in. Phone settings under accounts, the mail app, Chrome's profile icon, old receipts or delivery confirmations in another inbox. Nine times out of ten the address is sitting on a device you already own.
