\one option that may help locate a known street is to use the Historical Directories website to find a trade directory for the relevant area and then locate the name of another occupant of the street by using the keyword search function.

Then search for the name of that individual in 1841 census. Always try to pick another resident of the street with a unusual name, it's far easier to find Jeremiah Wiggins than a John Smith for example.

I don't think so, but you can check the discription for each enumeration district which does give street names
