I couldn't find Maxwell, which is weird since Maxwell is present in the source CSV. He should be placed somewhere in Edinburgh.

Fantastic site nonetheless.

That's because both Sean Connery and Maxwell have their birthplace as just "Edinburgh", and Connery's notability rank is 261, while Maxwell's is 683. So Connery is shown instead of Maxwell.

Seems to be eclipsed by Sean Connery, also from Edinburgh.
