Hi jazzhag
The problem I had with Essex celebs was I'd already used some Essex ladies in 'Essex Girls' (A6581720) so it seemed sorta like to cheating to me to use them again, so I decided not to include a section on Essex celebs.

No problem by posting them here you have in effect added them to the Entry
I'll add another author...Bernard Cornwell. Bernard, who was born in London, grew up in Essex and now lives in the US. I have read many of his .
Though, strictly speaking they can only be an 'Essex Girl', or 'Essex Man' if they were born in Essex.
