Oops I have now found Corby Street on the 1911 Census. but can't seem to find number 26. No worries.

I have the marriage certificate for Fred Johnson in 1906 and the address given for both him and his new wife looks like 26 Corby Street Sheffield. I cannot seem to find a street called Corby Street. I wanted to look at the 1901 and 1911 census to see who was living there but if I search the address in the census nothing comes up.
Can anyone advise what the street name may be?
Thanks
