Quiz about famous people from Lancashire

[tiger76]

The poster on the Bumble thread got my thinking about all the famous folks who've had the honour of being born on the right side of the Pennines.

So a quick quiz to test your knowledge of local history, I got 7/10 some are easy, but there's a few tricky ones thrown into the mix.

And yes I had noticed the definition of what constitutes Lancashire is rather broad before anyone else points this out.

7/10. Enjoyed that as it gave more info along with the correct answer.

[nil_desperandum]

Knew 7. Got 7.
My 3 guesses were all 50 /50, but I got 0/3!

[aclaretinstevenage]

Guessed the last 3 wrongly. Got 7/10 not bad being Hertfordshire born and bred!!

[longsidetrumpet]

8 for me including a couple of lucky guesses

[dsr]

9. All but the Mayflower.

And I don't see anything broad about the definition of Lancashire. Which ones are inaccurate? The boundary commission may have decided that Liverpool, Manchester, Barrow and Blackpool, among others, have now left Lancashire; but they didn't do it retrospectively.
