It depends whether your provider of the census transcription offers you the facility to search by address. The one that I use 'The Genealogist' does. However are you certain that 53 Don Street was their address in 1861, there is a family headed by an Edward Saunders, 33, Carpenter at 34 Don Street, with wife Elizabeth and children Edward 8, Elizabeth,3 and William 1 month.

Not necessarily wrong - just different!
Spellings weren't as important back then; as long as it sounded right.
And remember that it's the enumerator, registrar, cleric, priest or whatever that is writing down HIS idea of the spelling ::)
