Though note the wiki page for Carroll's method[1] states:
1676, February 23
...
Dates before 1752 would in England be given Old Style with 25 March as the
first day of the new year. Carroll's method however assumes 1 January as
the first day of the year, thus he fails to arrive at the correct answer,
namely "Friday".
...
It is noteworthy that those who have republished Carroll's method have
failed to point out his error"
Indeed, the linked article has this flaw, too (:
