[#2134] Merknad number in 1865 census

[Gjest Erling Erickson]

In the 1865 census does the number listed under "Merknad" give any indication of farm location. For example, in the 1865 census my great grandmother (Anne Olsdtr.) is listed as a servant at a farm named Bole (Merknad 363). Her parents (Ole Gunders. and Anne Halstensd.) are listed as living on a farm named Odegaarden (Merknad 367). Does the closeness of the numbers mean the farms were near one another?Thank you.

In must cases, yes, but not guaranteed.
