Thanks, Karen! I did discover Cowling Web some years ago. Also purchased the Craven Indexes at that time and they are invaluable. I am indebted to Josie Walsh for many insights.
Glad you posted that link. I knew I had seen Great House on one of the maps but lately I couldn't find it again. Great House and Court House are right there at the bottom of this map, I see, just south of Royd Mill and New Road Side.
The Berry family in Cowling is not mine as far as I can tell, though of course there could be a link I haven't found yet. My line descends from the James Berry (father of Thomas Berry the sizing mill owner in Sutton-in-Craven) who came from Colne. It's the younger James Berry (son of Thomas the mill owner) who married Emma Pickles and game me my Cowling connections.
