I also searched ODNB for "Monmouth" and
found so many with some tenuous
connection to Monmouth under "B" that I stopped looking. Lots of people
went to school in Monmouth as there are two posh schools there who trained
"people for the empire" 100 years ago and quite a few notables.
"Monmouthshire" in the ODNB full text is more reasonable - around 200 hits
and there are going to be fewer false positives in there. If someone can do
a list of missing related DNB biographies (edition by 1912 to be PD text)
then it could be posted to WP:WP DNB and we could have a look at it. This
would be a way to get something new up quickly.
