[EbbwJunction1]

I do know the answer to this, but only because I thought that it was something else ... I checked, and found that I was wrong!

On the basis that I haven't guessed any previously, the answer is "The Dukes of Hazzard".

To start, 1, Clement Attlee

 

[AndyPJG]

[Calthrop]

5 Harold Wilson? -- just because he was, basically, a Northerner.

 

[Gloster]

9 Stanley Baldwin.
10 Theresa May.

 

[MotCO]

5 Harold Wilson? -- just because he was, basically, a Northerner.

[OhNoAPacer]

and 8. Neville Chamberlain seems to have popped into my head whilst looking again at the list

 

[EbbwJunction1]

2. Harold MacMillan
4. Anthony Eden
(These may well be the wrong way around?)
7. John Major

and a long shot, because I don't think that he was a Yorkshireman, although he was a Northerner ...
5. Tony Blair?

 

[MotCO]

As a guess 6. Jim Callaghan

and 8. Neville Chamberlain seems to have popped into my head whilst looking again at the list

[MotCO]

2. Harold MacMillan
4. Anthony Eden
(These may well be the wrong way around?)
7. John Major

5. Tony Blair?

2. Not MacMillan
4. Not Eden, but MacMillan
7. Yes, John Major
5. Not Blair

 

[MotCO]

Just

2. Marylebone, London,
5. Morley, Yorkshire

to get now.

 

[SuspectUsual]

Is the one from Morley Herbert Asquith?

 

[EbbwJunction1]

We must be going back a fair way for no. 2 ... let's try Lord Salisbury?

 

[Trackman]

5- Harold Wilson?

 

[MotCO]

We must be going back a fair way for no. 2 ... let's try Lord Salisbury?

Was he after 1900

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Was he after 1900

Yes, he served three terms: 1885 to 1886, 1886 to 1892 and 1895 to 1902.

However, in checking this, I've found that he was born in Hatfield, so it isn't him after all!

 

[OhNoAPacer]

We can rule out Brown and Blair, both born in Scotland and Johnson was born in New York.

 

[xotGD]

Asquith

 

[MotCO]

Is the one from Morley Herbert Asquith?

He was indeed

 

[MotCO]

Asquith

Correct - but too late

 

[MotCO]

5- Harold Wilson?

No, he was Huddersfield-born.

 

[Loppylugs]

I think 2 is David Cameron, whom I shall never forgive for sanctioning the electrification of the GWR (and if he didn't I'll still blame him anyway!)
