1880 Cowling Child Census
Credits: Malcolm Smith for loan of the book.
Mrs. Wilson for the typing.

The following is a copy of a text book from 1880 entitled 'West Riding County Council, Education Committee'
The information was all recorded by hand in child age order. Although no information is present as to the exact purpose of the list.
One theory suggests the recording of Cowling children's location and age for the purpose of providing schooling, another suggests it may have been part of the compilation of the infamous 1881 census.

Cowling Moonrakers would be happy to hear further comments on the possibilities of this document.
