It looks like it could be. The census return suggests the enumerator was walking eastwards: Crowther Laithe > Cabbage Hall > Nont Sarahs > Carr Top.
It might not be relevant in this particular case, but the O.S. surveyors (and perhaps also non-local census enumerators?) sometimes struggled with the local pronunciation of “hole” and recorded it as “hall”, e.g. Dead Man’s Hole in Upperthong.
