Luckily, Google provides a recovery solution for just this problem! Visit
https://www.google.com/accounts/ForgotPasswd?service=mail&fuOnly=1&hl=en-US
and enter the email address that you entered as an additional address when you signed up and they will send your username to the alternate email address.

What is my googlemail account login?

Dear "Bill" William Patterson,

You are probably a nice guy, but you're incredibly naive. Never but NEVER publish email addresses to a permanent webpage, at least addresses you wish to continue using, as it will likely turn into a Spam City as soon as the robots harvest them, or worse!

That plus the Gmail information you have giving is just too damned risky. I believe you have compromised all three accounts with these revelations, and potentially opened yourself up to identity theft.

Just go open a NEW Gmail account. Maybe you'll get lucky and simply try to use the same name to sign up with as you used before. At that point you'll be able to recover it.

I don't know where a gmail email log in. Is

Point your web browser at http://www.gmail.com

If another account comes up, sign out of it by clicking the avatar in the upper-right then clicking "Sign out."

If you then still can't sign in to your account, click the "Need help?" link on the sign-in page.
