HI Martin, I'm glad you asked that, I thought I remembered a Gaskell Street (between Chorley old Road and Halliwell Road, sort of around Brownlow Way?) From when I lived in Bolton in the 60's and 70's. It's definitely Gaskill in the 1871, you can clearly see the dot over the I and it's Gaskill in the transcribed Street Index. I'm pretty sure it's Gaskill in the 1861, though you could convince me it was Gaskell. I've always assumed that my memory of the spelling was wrong but you've prompted me to check. I'll look at the census itself and try to work out where it was, based on the streets around it.

They look as if they original ones from the 19th Century (I hope they are listed as not many around from that period).

I have seen both spellings in different censuses and sources, I have always presumed that it refers to the same place. There is also one in Little Lever but can't remember whether with an "e" or "i"! Most of that area has been cleared or redeveloped but the one group of terraced houses is obviously original.
