Same house 50 years apart

I got into a taxi in Exeter, Devon and got chatting to the driver about where I'd just come from. I said "Maidenhead" as the nearest large town that he might have heard of (this is 200 odd miles away). He said "my grandparents lived near Maidenhead - Twyford actually" (Twyford's a largeish village about 2 miles from my house) so I said "Oh! You might actually know the tiny village I just bought a house in - Hare Hatch" (HH is just a hamlet - no church or shops). He said "That's where my grandparents lived." I asked "Which road?" My road. "Which house?" His grandparents had bought my house in 1958. He later sent me a photo of them on my front doorstep with him aged 4. His grandad built my porch. Sometime later I called a local company to make me a gate - just someone out of Yellow Pages, about 10 miles away the other side of Reading. I asked the man if he could take a look at the existing gate if he was passing. When I told him the address he said "My grandparents lived there". It was a different lot of people, who lived here before the taxi driver's grandparents. I think this is definitely my house!
