I've just sent out an email to 15 supporters (ie, donors, current members etc) who are from the Monmouth area. Hopefully we can get them involved too - they'll be contacting John or info@wikimedia.org.uk if they want to help.

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.
