For agricultural and general labourers to live at the side of the road?
While digging for some distant twigs, I have found them in the 1861 census living next to each other at the side of the road, in fact everyone on the page is doing the same!
I am wondering if this was a common event? It's something I haven't come across before, and they are not far from their birth places either. In fact I have found three pages of people doing the same, harvest time perhaps?
