Dear Brian

You may not be aware that an early local census exists for North Tawton (c 1802). The original is apparently in the Devon Record Office in a somewhat fragile state but it has fortunately been transcribed by John Pearce and the transcription is on the GENUKI website at http://genuki.cs.ncl.ac.uk/DEV/NorthTawton/Stabb-NorthTawton.html

It is really just a list of names, ages and occupations of the inhabitants, arranged more or less in household groups, but a quick trawl through brings up a large number of Skinners. Amongst them I spotted a James (age 55) and an Elizabeth (age 40) living in a household with Mary (11), Elizabeth (8) and Ann (6). The next entry is "missing" so maybe this is your James jnr? There are also a few Bowdens so it's well worth a look. 

I also have ancestors in North Tawton at this time and have found this census extremely useful.

Hope this helps!

Regards

Lizzie
