There wouldn't be if they were tenants and the rateable value was low - can't remember the exact figure but in the early years all houses rated at less than £x were lumped together under the name of the proprietor.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Thanks Forfarian , I didn't know that.

For the early years after 1854, there is little detail about properties rented at under 4 pounds annually unless they were on long leases.
