Daley Thomson - double Olympic decathlon gold medallist

Born in Notting Hill, London, the second son of a Nigerian father and Scottish mother, Thompson showed a remarkable aptitude for sport while at Farney Close boarding school, Bolney, Sussex.
Initially, he was a member of Haywards Heath Harriers, but when he returned to London in 1975 he joined the Essex Beagles club.

am i wrong in thinking that when saying that someone is "from" somewhere it is generally accepted that they were born there, or atleast grew up there

for example, i could accept someone saying that matt prior is "from" sussex, as he has lived here since 11
