There's a Swift's Row, Rickergate in Carlisle.

Hi gemma

Can you give us the names and details of the people involved (or the census reference) as you can't do an address search on the 1851 census

Hi gemma

If you have access to the original image you should see that it is in Rickergate District 7.  If you click on this it should show you the Enumerator's route.

In case you can't do it yourself the relevant part of the route is

Swift's Row
Swift's Cottage
Swif Hotel  (sic)
Eden Street
George Street
Swift's Lane
Bowling Green
Victoria Place
Albert Street
Chapel Street
Burlington Place (north side)

Swift's Row, Chapel Street & Victoria Place are on google maps.  I suspect the rest might have disappeared under Georgian Way & Hardwicke Cross Roundabout 

Try the local museum or FHS - they may have more information.
