Hi I believe the IGI already takes this into account and the actual date in the register will be 11 March 1617/18 . This why you quite often get patron submissions a year different to the extracted entries.

Hi All The old Julian Calender was changed to the Gregorian Calender in 1752 in Britain and the New Year officially started on the 1 January. Before yhat date the 25 March was the start of the year. The 11 March 1618 would be that as it would not become 1619 until 25 March Should also add that many treated the 1 January as the beginning of the year bore 1752.
