This list is a work in progress and the long-term goal is to migrate it to a fully searchable database. To illustrate the data that will be available from the database when the project is more advanced, I have created sample pages for William Derham, William Turner, and Gilbert White.

Where dates of birth are unknown, in order to assign individuals a place in the ranking, I have alloted them a lifespan of 'three score years and ten', so they appear in the list 70 years before their known death date. If neither birth nor death date are known, I have placed them 30 years before the decade in which we first hear of them. In both cases, these assumptions are simply to put them in an approximate place in the chronology, and do not imply that their birth dates are known.
