On September 2, 1752, an odd happening occurred that's still keeping genealogists on their toes. On that day, the British Isles and all the English colonies, including America, lost 11 days--September 3 through 13. People went to sleep and when they awoke the next morning, the date had changed to September 14. There were riots in rural villages since the people thought the government was trying to cheat them out of 11 days of their lives. Though these days disappeared in English lands in 1752, a number had already vanished in other places--France in 1582, Austria in 1584, and Norway in 1700.
Personally I can't even remember when I was a lad, but I suppose there may be a need to go back this far and it has been coded by someone.
Do I get a saddo badge for this?
Anyway, I suppose one should ask why you want to get this far through the calendars and see if we can help address that issue.
Yep, those days are missing because of the correction that was required when switching from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian.
On a side note: today (Feb 15) 30 years ago the British switched to base 10 in their currency. IMO there's a pattern here when it comes to the Empire and international standards
I think you will find it was forty years ago, i.e. 1971 and before I was born it must have been lost in translation somewhere, like the letter u in the correct spelling of colour.

You have a strange sense of humor
But it was 40 years, just after I was born. I'm glad they changed it. I couldn't make head nor tail of it before!
