Who counts as from Upper Halliford?
People Wikidata records as born in a place inside Upper Halliford’s built-up area (the ONS 2022 boundary), a hospital or district within it included, whose English Wikipedia article agrees. People who only lived here, adult performers and people known mainly for crimes aren’t listed.
Why is someone missing?
