The term Row seems to have been used interchangeably with Houses and Cottages.  There are reports in the Independent of goings on in the following:

Johnsons Row 1869

Chapel Row 1876

Broomhill Row 1879

Brick Row 1888

White Row 1896

Cross referencing to the census doesn't appear helpful, although I'm not sure what information would be useful to you.
