Since you alluded to it -- was 31 March the quarter day when the year began 25 Mar? Because my logic suggests quarter day then would have been 26 June, which would explain a few puzzles. I ask primarily because I once ran across some Quaker MM records that counted months from the date of the MM's founding, not from the calendar (i.e., the first month was July or September, not January or March), which was massively misleading when one tried to match with non-Quaker records from the area!
