The Common Room / 1939 register

I really don't know what I am doing wrong but I don't seem to be able to trace my family at all. My family moved house in 1939 but I don't know what date, but entering both places ends in no result..
My father was William Cecil Bownass born 1901 and my mother Eleanor Bownass also born 190l. In 1939 there were 4 children and I am the only one still alive. My sister Dorothy died in 1980 and my brother Arthur died in 2002 and William R died in 2006, so I would have thought some of the family would show up.
In 1939 the family moved from Kirkby Lonsdale in Westmorland [now Cumbria] to Lancaster in Lancashire. I have tried all these places but am unable to trace my family.
Can anybody advise what I am doing wrong?
