Before 1752 in Britain and its colonies, the new year began on March 25. However, some early dates are listed as if the new year began on the first of January. (For example, a date such as 13 February 1694/95 may be given as 13 February 1695.) Eventually, all early dates will be listed in dual mode.
The earliest records often record baptismal and burial dates instead of birth and death dates. Although a person is usually buried very soon after death, baptisms may not take place until a year or two after birth.
