SOME RAWES NEWSPAPER CUTTINGS

DATES
In 1752 Britain changed from the Julian calender to the Gregorian calender. The process resulted in a loss of 11 days. The days chosen were the 3rd to 13th of September 1752 inclusive. The commencement of the year also changed from the 25th of March (Lady Day) to the 1st of January. When studying documents dated earlier than 1753 it is important to remember that the period between the 31st of December and the 25th of March refers to the subsequent year, for example 31st December 1751 = 31st December 1751 and 1st January 1751 = 1st January 1752.
