Yes, I noticed that on one of the other forms the houses listed are numbered, but, yes, it doesn't seem related to anything. I guess maybe you can assume that house 1 is next to house 2, but that's about it.

Not necessarily. It all depends on geography. They may be next to each other, across from each other, or in some other spatial relationship depending on terrain (mountain, stream, bog). Hence the value of the GV maps so you can see where farms (and geographical features) are in relation to each other and can guess in which order the census taker took the info. Claire K.
