In a word NO.

If the cct is parallel, then the voltage across one will be the same as the others = cct voltage, the reciprocal sum of the resistances can be used to calculate the total resistance and so the current.

If the cct is series then the resistance ratios will determine the voltage dropped across each resistor which will then give total resistance and from this the current can be determined.

Actually quite simple Ohms Law.
