Answer 2

If you go to this link you could probably find the place you are looking for with using the zoom. I have found Workington , and you can manipulate the map. The date of the map is 1869.

Answer 3

1881 Census

10 LONGSTAIRS, WORKINGTON.

Thomas Plaskett aged 65 shoemaker born SEATON

Elizabeth Plaskett wife aged 55 born in LONDON

Thomas Plaskett son aged 38 ship's carpenter

1891 Census

LONGSTAIRS, Griffin Street, Workington, Cumberland

Mullin Jane  54 Head.  Baker. Workington, Cumberland          

Mullin Jane  19 Daughter.  Workington, Cumberland          

Rowlins John  45 Lodger.  Lancaster Liverpool, -          

Rowlins James  9 Lodger.  Workington, Cumberland

Griffin Street continues either side of this one address, so it seems to be a part of Griffin Street, and not a separate street.
