If you look at the various censuses on Ancestry they usually at the start of each section have a description of the area covered which often can give a pretty good idea of the adjacent properties to a particular address.

For example the 1851 census described the district concerned as “all that part of the Township of Dearham which lies on the west of the Turnpike Road leading from Dearham to Cockermouth (including Townhead, Rattan Row, Boustead Buildings, Harker, Blooming Heathers(?) Hayborough House and Kirkborough.

Not sure if it helps, but I have a relative who lived in Rotten Row Dearham in the 1841 and 1851 censuses - in the 1861 census after she was married her birth place was given as Greengill - which if you look on Google Maps is between Dearham and Gilcrux.  On the subject of Dearham does anyone know if there any records of churchyard inscriptions anywhere on line?
