| YEAR DATES - explanatory notes: Before 1752, the first day of the New Year was 26th March, so for example, 25th March 1750 would have been followed by 26th March, 1751. This system continued until the calendar was changed in 1751 so that 31st December 1751 was followed by 1st January 1752. All events before 1752 that occurred between 1st January and 25th March in a given year would, according to our modern calendar, have occurred a year later than actually recorded at the time. In order to facilitate the sorting of dates when computer software is used to compile any records/transcripts the dates have all been adjusted so that each year begins on 1st January, not 26th March as recorded in the registers. This means for example, that an entry in a transcript for a baptism on 5th January, 1723 would actually be found in the original parish register for 5th January 1722. |

| NEW ZEALAND - Wills / Probate Records New Zealand Probate records occurred from 1842 prior to this date Probate/Will records were recorded/probated in New South Wales, Australia. Wills were usually probated in the High Court nearest to the place of residence of the tester (person making will). An exception to this is if the Will was lodged with the Public Trustee Office and would be located in the Wellington High Court regardless of the testors usual place of residence. It could also be noted that the record could be mention in the NSW records. Taken from New Zealand Soc. of Genealogists cd Vol 2. |
