Thanks for your reply Ron. it all makes sense to me now. I was hoping that their might have been some additional information e.g. age at death and maybe a name of a parent or husband. I will later my burial date for Sudan accordingly. take care Liz > On 2 Jan 2018, at 10:57 PM, Roy Stockdill <roy.stockdill@btinternet.com> wrote: > > Findmypast has two entries for this burial, both at St Mary's. One entry has the burial on January 1st 1737 (from the parish registers) and the other is from the National Burial Index and shows it on January 1st 1738 - however, both refer to the same event and both are correct, it is simply a matter of how you cite it. > > Pre-calender changes,as mentioned by Nivard, refer to what happened in the year 1752 when Britain switched from the Julian Calendar, as laid down by Julius Caesar, to the Gregorian Calendar as approved by Pope Gregory XIII. This altered the end of the year from March 24 to December 31. Prior to 1752, dates between January 1 and March 24 were recorded as being still in the previous year which continued up to the latter date. After 1752 events were recorded according to the dating system as we know it today, but sometimes it isn't always easy to see which system has been used, hence your confusion. It's a question of whether a date has been "corrected" to confirm with the New Dating. > > The correct way to cite the burial of Susan Plampin as as follows: January 1st 1737/38, making it clear that the event occurred in 1738 according to New Dating. > > Roy Stockdill > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: SUFFOLK [mailto:suffolk-bounces+roy.stockdill=btinternet.com@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Liz Maxwell > Sent: 01 January 2018 21:45 > To: Suffolk > Subject: Re: [SFK-UK] Susan Plampin > > Hi Nivan, > > Thanks for your reply .
