I think the Bay Horse is a spelling mistake - the Grey Horse gave its name to the attached cottages, but it wasn't officially known as a hamlet.

The Charnocks are a constant on the Census' 1841-1901 (they ran the Grey Horse beer house).
This is the area of Charnock's Cottages, 1850s, from http://www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html
This small clump of buildings seems to be the extent of grey horse 'hamlet'.
Well done, Marky.
