Hi Sally,
I just thought that if any of your people were left behind in Cowling they would have been counted on those censuses in Skipton, I believe, which is the Civil Registration District for Cowling.
You might like to play around with this interactive map that someone pointed out in another thread. I found it quite useful. The most fun I had was when I clicked on Layers. I probably have lots more to discover. It's quite clever.
