Dorcas Sutton's death and burial in 1702 in Carlisle has me puzzled.Date is shown as 1701/2,is this really 1702 or is there another idea?
Thanks,
Eric

The Start of the Year: In 1702, the legal and official new year did not begin on January 1st. It began on March 25th (Lady Day). Therefore, days in January, February, and early March of 1702 were often recorded using double dating (e.g., 1701/1702) in official administrative and church records.
Not able to safely download your link, perhaps you could photo the record and post it.
