The International Genealogical Index (IGI) at www.familysearch.org lists the following children of this couple, who were married at rathven on 12 July 1845:
Margaretta, baptised 4 December 1845, Rathven
Jane, baptised 4 September 1847, Rathven
Martha, baptised 18 December 1849, Edinkillie
Robert, baptised 12 March 1852, Edinkillie
Anne, baptised 11 April 1854, Edinkillie
George, born 21 May 1856, Edinkillie
Eliza, born 30 October 1860, Edinkillie
Annabella Grant, born 18 May 1863, Edinkillie
Charles Mitchell, born 15 July 1864, Edinkillie
Emily, born 20 October 1866, Edinkillie
Williamina Thomson, born 7 December 1868, Elgin
So you can see that they must have moved from Rathven to Edinkillie between 1847 and 1849, and from Edinkillie to Elgin between 1866 and 1868. So they ought to be in Edinkillie in both 1851 and 1861.
You can look up the 1861 census online at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
The 1851 isn't online yet, but the Aberdeen and North-East Scotland Family History Society http://www.anesfhs.org.uk/ has produced an index which is available to members and on CD-ROM.

Re the Cowie family.
I can add that the one daughter of George Cowie and Jane Thompson who was also named Jane Cowie, born 1847, and she married Charles Cumming Bruce Mitchell who was born on 22 April 1842 at Dunphail in the parish of Edinkille, Scotland. Shortly after her marriage in 1864 in Relugas they migrated to Australia to join her brother in law, James Mitchell's family in Queensland in 1865. Then three years later Jane and Charles WALKED from Queensland to Victoria to join another of Charles family his sister, Mary in Warrnambool , Victoria. This journey took nearly 3 years. They finally settled in Gippsland at a place called Trafalgar. They had 10 children Their first child Margaret died in infancy. The rest survived. Descendents are in both Victoria and Queensland. Jane remarried in 1900 when 52 after the death of Charles in 1888 from facial cancer. She is buried at Trafalgar cemetery under the name Jane Mulcahy. My wife is a descendant of Charles C.B.Mitchell being one of many great grand children.
Hope you find our about other family members.

re 1861 & 1851 look-up cowie family
Pleased to be able to add a bit to your research
Hopefully attached is a photo of Jane Cowie or Jane Mitchell as she was then. The photo being circa 1890. I'm not too sure how to do this but here goes. If it doesn't work and you'd like the photo perhaps you can make a suggestion

I certainly would like to follow picture of George up. There should be an email from me on your computer now too with some information.

I found your entry by accident when I was researching my Stewart ancestry. George and Jane's son, Robert, married my GG Aunt, Elizabeth Stewart, in Edinburgh on December 29th 1882. My Grandfather, Elizabeth's sister's son, was named after him. Thought you might like this for your records.
