Richmond Archdeanery for Wills has it's records at the lancashire County Record Office and there are good bound indexes. The census returns 1841 - 1901 will be useful but being North Yorkshire you may find some 1801-1831 partial survivals. the 6" Ordenanace Survey map will be extremely useful as it is a rural area. the tithe maps of around 1854 will be brilliant too actually.
