No, they must have lived in the 1900's. born before that is fine too, but they must have died in 1900's, and beyond to our time.

That's 'Sir' to You: Stones' Mick Jagger Knighted


All Things Considered, December 12, 2003 · Forty years after his band crashed onto the world stage with its bad boy image, Rolling Stones rocker Mick Jagger was knighted by Prince Charles today at Buckingham Palace in London. NPR's Robert Siegel and NPR's Melissa Block reflect on how the Stones have become part of the establishment.

Beatle McCartney knighted Sir Paul by queen - Mar. 11, 1997
McCartney dedicated his knighthood to fellow Beatles George Harrison, Ringo Starr and John Lennon -- shot dead in New York in 1980 -- and the people of the northwestern port of Liverpool.

Many 20th century politicians have held knighthoods. So:

Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman
Sir Winston Churchill
Sir Anthony Eden
Sir Alec Douglas-Home
Sir James Callaghan
Sir Edward Heath
Sir John Major
Sir Menzies Campbell
