Famous People's Places of Birth - United Kingdom edition

Can you correctly identify the origins of these 10 famous people - all of which originated from the United Kingdom, but do you know where specifically? I'm sure local legend will make some of these very easy to answer, if you happen to live in these towns and cities then I'm sure some family member will have said in passing "Don't you know so-and-so used to live there", or perhaps even easier still, they might have a blue plaque marking their origins. Otherwise, some of these could be really quite tricky to identify... For some of these folks, there may be some debate as to where they are from or perhaps where they are most famously linked to, but we are explicitly looking for where they were born - otherwise, half of the people here would probably be more associated with LA than our fair old isles...
