I always add everyone to my file, as on at least one occasion they have later turned out to be related. I also do this for witnesses to marriages etc. and on one occasion this has opened a door in a 'brick wall' (A marriage witness later turned out to be a married sister that I hadn't discovered by other means). It has been known for servants or boarders to marry into the host family. At the end of the day it comes down to how you want to store your family data.
