List Of HERRICK Names Born In Each Decade:
Note 1: Until 1751, the calendar had the year end on the end of March. The dates herein are given throughout according to the modern computation, i.e. New Style: consequently for the periods from Jan 1 to Mar 25, annually, till 1751, the years are later by one. The old style date would be 13 Feb, 1720 for instance, but the New Style would be 13 Feb, 1721, so the date of birth might now be written 1720/21.
Note 2: The old calendar had the year end on the end of March as noted above. Historically on the first of the new year (April 1) everyone would knock on their neighbor's door and join in the festivities "ringing in the New Year". However, when the New Style calendar was adopted, if someone came to the neighbor's house expecting to celebrate on April 1, they would be met with "April Fool!" instead, hence our expression.
