It depends on the distance and validity of the homes. I made a large village, and the morons end up migrating back and forth from one end to the other. If it's a valid door, then it should see it as a house.

And I believe that the cap is neither 40 or 50.

Yeah, I had a huge village once and the idiots refused to go to the south side of town. I don't know what they heard about it, it was nice, had a forge and everything, but they refused to leave north end. Maybe it's because that's where I put the tavern...



But as far as I can tell, the village centers around the well, so as long as you have a well, they should feel "at home" in pretty much any village. I don't think they know "home" as they village they spawn in.

I just kidnap them in minecarts. It made me think back to when villagers were first introduced though. I vaguely remember playing on a friends server and he built this underground village. After a while, villagers started spawning in it though i'm pretty sure he didn't 'import' them. I suppose it was possible that he had another legit village nearby and they found their own way there, I really can't remember now.
