You can always figure out when Easter is from almanacs. It's the Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox.   ;D

Martin thank you - in the end I turned to a hard copy of Whittaker's Almanac to get the date provided by Goodies61.

  I remember my mother chanting - "the first Sunday after the first full moon after 21st March", which is the same thing said slightly differently!
