I think you can get fairly near to what you want by:
(1) creating a Place Filter rule: Place=> General Filters=> 
Places matching the parameters ...... Name "A"
(2) creating an Event filter rule: Events=> General 
Filters=> Events matching the place filter: Place filter 
name "A".
(call it "B")

Use this custom filter "B" on the sidebar in Events View. 
View configured to show Type, Description, Date,
Place. Order the items by Date to get a timeline.


Alternatively, you can just create an Events filter rule: 
Events=> General Filters=> Events with data ..... Type in 
the Place name and delete the default Event type "Birth". 
(call it "B")


If in addition you want an ordered list of the people 
(rather than working it out from the Event Descriptions)
create a Person filter rule: Persons=> General filters=> 
Persons with events matching the events filter: Events 
filter name: "B".
