Hi - If someone was born on 17th February 1872 by the Julian Calendar, any idea how that would relate to our calender?? Ditto if someone was born on 11th December 1875 by the Julian Calendar. I tried a convertor and it gave me a whole heaps of numbers which didn't make sense.

Try this converter http://www.fourmilab.ch/documents/calendar/
Scroll down to the julian calendar, enter your date, click on calculate. Then scroll back up to the gregorian calendar and the converted date will be there.
Update: forgot to mention, your browser must support java script and it must not be disabled.

When the calendar was changed it was to adjust for the excess leap days which had been taken by the Julian calendar at century-ends which weren't leap-centuries (i.e. the century number wasn't divisible by four; put another way, the century number wasn't a multiple of 400). It was pushing seasons out of sync.
Britain and the British Empire (including the eastern part of what is now the United States) adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1752 by which time it was necessary to correct by 11 days. Wednesday, 2 September 1752 was followed by Thursday, 14 September 1752.

A bit of a diversion, I hope that's OK:
Guy, since you're around ... may I ask you to have a look at this thread:
I feel that you might have the expertise to spot whether the Registrar is being correct or not in taking what appears to be a very unhelpful stance over availability of information online. I have received a very technical law-quoting reply from him (?her).
thanks

Christine, there is not much on the thread I can comment on.
I do not know what conditions were in instigated when the transcribers were given access to the registers.
If there were no terms and conditions then they are at liberty to ignore the registrar.
However if they do so then he/she could turn round and say as you are ignoring my request I will now withdraw any additional access you have to the registers.
In addition I do not know why the registrar has made the request or what dates the registers concerned cover. Is he/she concerned about breaching Data Protection Act?
This is probably not the case as Age at Death is mentioned and the DPA does not extend to deceased person.
If you can PM me with further details I may be able to help.
Cheers
