Parallel Lives 100 years apart

I grew up in the Midlands, and moved to the South East of England, due to work. I initially moved into a shared house in Horley, Surrey where I met a housemate who would later become my wife. We were married in Chichester, West Sussex. Prior to getting married, I didn't know I had any connection to West Sussex. A few years later we started tracing our family history and this was when we discovered these coincidences... - my family came from the same village that my wife had lived in as a child. She went to school with children of the same surname as those who were neighbours to my ancestors and there's a link to one of these families by marriage. - other family members lived in a row of cottages in Chichester which my wife had previously mentioned to me as always being somewhere that she wanted to live. - My great great great grandfather died on the same parcel of land in Chichester where my wife worked as a teenager. My wife seemed to have walked in my ancestors footsteps 100 years later.
