Comment Detail: Source includes date (12 mo. 20, 1701 [old style]). The year 1701 should be an old style date, but given the date of birth of her sister Mary, it appears that the year shown is the new style (applicable to dates after the calendar change in 1752). This database assumes the year was actually 1700 in the old style.

Comment Detail: Source includes date (12-20-1701) Because this is before the 1752 Gregorian and start-of-year calendar change in the UK, month 12 is February (the next year). The year is presumed to be 1700/01.
