This website suggests it's near Risbie's Ropewalk, which is itself near Cable Street apparently....

Added:  Also seen the latter Street referred to as Risbick's Ropewalk

You need to go to page 1 of the 1851 census & look at the enumerators route.
This will give you a grid to work in.
This is the only rope walk I can see in this 1850 map.
Situated in Limehouse so right place but no Turner's Row.

Risbie's Rope Walk. Well it's a start.

This is the same as the above map which is 1868.
This is Risbie's Rope Walk 1850.
You need to identify some of these roads from the enumerators route.
