I thought so too!
i researched the family living at Woolavington House Sussex in 1841 - because I could not understand the census entry (enumerator had written each person over two lines, to the total confusion of the indexing system).
And a woman who married into our family (i don't remember who she married) but to check her place of birth, I looked at the pre-marriage census and found she was living in the same small village as some of my ancestors as a servant. Of course, that needed looking into.
Sometimes I think I am researching a whole village, not just a family!
