When there was a conversion from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar, there had to be a change made to account for the year being out of synch with the actual seasons. The Julian calendar accounted for a solar year equivalent to 365.25 days, but it is closer to 365.2422 days. As a result, we were adding too many days. The Gregorian calendar instituted a change where 3 out of every 4 centuries would *not* be leap years.

The reform happened in 1582. Ten days were omitted from the calendar, and it was decreed that the day following (Thursday) October 4, 1582 (which is October 5, 1582, in the old calendar) would thenceforth be known as (Friday) October 15, 1582.

The Gregorian Calendar was adopted immediately upon the promulgation of Pope Gregory's decree in the Catholic countries of Italy, Spain, Portugal and Poland, and shortly thereafter in France and Luxembourg. During the next year or two most Catholic regions of Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and the Netherlands came on board. Hungary followed in 1587. The rest of the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland made the change during 1699 to 1701. By the time the British were ready to go along with the rest of Europe, the old calendar had drifted off by one more day, requiring a correction of eleven days, rather than ten.

The Gregorian Calendar was adopted in Britain (and in the British colonies) in 1752, with (Wednesday) September 2, 1752, being followed immediately by (Thursday) September 14, 1752.

I think this must be the year that you are referring to... 1752.
