HOW MANY people can correctly name the most searched-for person on Wikipedia from Barry?
The Pudding Website has created a map of the UK based on the most Wikipedia'ed person in each town.
The person could be someone who was born or lived in the town, or has connections to it.
So who is the most searched person with Barry connections?
Find out below:According to the Pudding Website map, Former Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard is Barry's most wikipedia'd person. The first and only woman to hold the positions of Deputy Prime Minister, Prime Minister and leader of a major party in Australia, Gillard was born in Barry. She left the town in 1966 for Australia at the age of six. She returned back to her roots for a trip last October, telling the BBC: "It is always emotional for me to come back to Barry. If anyone had send then, 'you know what, that baby is going to grow up to be a woman who leads a nation', everyone would have guffawed. But it happened." Gillard is perhaps best-known in the country for this 2012 speech on misogyny, in which she accused then-Prime Minister Tony Abbott of sexism. Did you guess correctly?
