* 1st January 1751 to 24th March 1751 didn't happen. 31st December 1751 was followed by 1st January 1752. The previous January was 1st January 1750.

In practice, the 25th March New Year had been declining in common use for years, and the 1752 change made the change official. (Scotland switched to 1st January for the new year in 1600!)

But there aren't any two days in England that had the date.
Must think things through.

pheonix got it, of course.
