Benjamin Carter from Paulton to Dudley late 1840s

Hi Everyone,
I am new to the forum. I have done a lot of research on the Carter family of Paulton, Somerset, and members of the family who moved to the Midlands, North of England, and the US of A. Ready to share any and all research.
My great grandfather, Benjamin Carter, was born in Paulton Somerset in 1822 and moved to Dudley in the mid to late 1840s as part of a migration involving a lot of people who left Paulton.
When Benjamin got married to Roseannah Owen in 1850 he gives his address as Oakey Well Street on the marriage certificate but no house number. There is no house number on the banns. I am trying to find out which house he lived in, since this may help clarify some of the Carter family lines in Paulton.
On the 1851 census, there are two Carter families from Paulton, Somerset, living on Oakey Well Street. These are:
George Carter born Paulton and Frances (nee Hickmans) born Dudley living at number 99 and
William Carter and Grace (nee Carter) both born Paulton with children Simon and Maty (born Paulotn) and Esther (born Dudley living at number 133.
I think Benjamin was living with one of these families. Are there any electoral registers, tax rolls, any other records that might show where Benjamin was living? Many thanks for any input.
Regards, Terry.
