   It describes where they were born not that they were away. There could   
   be a lot of people born in the same other country who are settled in   
   the same area, especially if e.g. it is a port (e.g. Chester) or a   
   place with a history of being inhabited by foreigners such as e.g.   
   Bute Town in Caerdydd, Glasgow or parts of the East End in London.
