Yes, very possible. If the original switches have been replaced, that is likely the case, as I'm sure they once worked. I'm sure you checked the light bulbs first, right? :)

Old houses with old wiring are a job for a pro. Call an electrician.

the policy is these days not to use metal switches anyway, you are more likly to have problem because it's metal and conducts electricity, stick to plastic one they are much safer. as for your problem you have two ring mains the top and bottom and they are all connected i suggest you get a proper electricain to help you

Since the house is quite old, the switchplates that aren't working are probably due to defective wiring on those only. It could have just disintegrated over the years. An electrician would be able to re-do those but I would have all checked to make sure they aren't about to go as well.
