Anno dni 1540 do Rg E 32. i dominica post festu Annuncacionis

In the year of our Lord 1540, in the 32nd year of the reign of King Henry VIII. On the first Sunday after the Feast of the Annunciation.

19. Dominica. Bapt. in feria 2 Aleson Hoxcks filia Simonus Hoxcks nat. 17 die mensis predict.

#19, Sunday. Baptized on the weekday 2 [Monday] Aleson Hoxcks, daughter of Simonus Hoxcks, born on the 17th day of the said month

Feast of the Annunciation = 25 March

First Sunday after that would be:

Sunday, 31 March 1540

So the baptism of Aleson Hoxcks, listed as Dominica 19, occurred 19 days after 31 March, which brings us to:

Monday, 22 April 1540 [Julian]

And her birth on the 17th day of the same month would then be:

Wednesday, 17 April 1540 [Julian]

[Gregorian: 27 April 1540]

Note: Julian calendar year starts March 25 while Gregorian starts January 1. England officially used the Julian calendar until 1752.

At the conversion to Gregorian there was a one time adjustment of 11 days. We normally only take that in the conversion year 1752, but for dates given in this manner, the adjustment was needed.
