Hi all, Edward Thresh baptism Featherstone 14 Jan 1719, 14 Feb 1720 father John Thresh many trees have him but nobody seems to cite the original, would be great if anyone has access to the copy of the original to clarify dates. Thanks, Pete
P.S. He died June 1803 age given as 83.

This is probably the effect of the old Julian calendar when the new year began on 25th March.

So Julian calendar 1719; Gregorian (modern) date 1720. They were one and the same day.

Thanks for that, I should have realised, I have the parish records for Marr and all the earlier dates start and finish on Lady's Day. Doh  :)
