You are of course quite right to raise that possibility. I just thought that if Heather or you had access to calendars for the 1860s as well as the 1870s it might help settle the matter of James Page's idiosyncratic method of rendering numbers.
I sent your transcription to a descendant of James Page in Australia - needless to say she is delighted and asked me to pass on her antipodean thanks

I googled "what day was 3 December 1876?' and got that historyorb site - there are several sites that will tell you the same information  :)
