New Year's Day for 1752 in England was reset to January 1st - up until this time it had been on March 25th, so there was no January 1 - March 24 1751! The first three months of years before this are sometimes shown with two year numbers - eg Jan 1550/51 - for clarity. Also, in order to effect the change to the Gregorian Calendar, the English days September 2 - 14 1752 were disappeared - Nick Middlecoat jnr (b August 1752) damn nearly arrived on earth in a calendrical black hole !
