? ? If you can get hold of a DVD with Ruth Goodman, Peter Ginn and Alex Langlands called 'Life on a Victorian Farm' (televised some years back) you will find out about (amongst other things) how birthdays were celebrated then :)
In fact they have done several series' going back to the 17th century and are pretty entertaining. I have nothing to do with their making, I just like them.

Linked to this are people who give the earliest place they can remember as a birthplace, but were actually born and registered elsewhere. One recently from a family in Greenwich, who gave that as his birthplace, I found had been born and registered in Yorkshire where his parents were staying with relatives.
