Multiple similarities

Some four or five years ago, I taught a student at the University of Sheffield taking a part-time degree who shared my first name (Peter), was left-handed like me, and had a daughter called Eleanor as I do. The really coincidental thing, however, was that we had each lived as a child in the same road (Iron Mill Lane) in Crayford, Kent. I cannot now remember how I discovered this last detail, and if I remember correctly we had not overlapped in time and had attended different primary schools. I believe that he is still around in Sheffield, graduated in the last year or so, but I have not run across him recently. Simply writing this out makes me doubt my memory because it seems so unlikely but I think I have recalled the details correctly, and it might be possible to check if thought important.
