This person immigrated to New England between 1621-1640 as a Minor Child (under age 21 at time of immigration) of a Puritan Great Migration immigrant who is profiled in Robert Charles Anderson's Great Migration Directory (or is otherwise accepted by the Puritan Great Migration (PGM) Project).

Is it possible that the Dedham VR has already corrected the year to new style dating? If the marriage occurred in March 1643/4, then it seems unlikely that the first daughter Mary was also born in that same month. Her profile indicates her birth was in Dedham on 23 March 1643/4 (source not clear, but appears also to be Dedham VR - I have not tracked down the children's baptismal records to confirm this.)

From my experience with Don Gleason Hills' transcriptions, he did them verbatim. The way that record reads (see the linked volume I added) their marriage most likely occurred in March of 1643, not 1644. The daughter Mary's birth is shown under 1644: https://archive.org/details/earlyrecordsded01masgoog/page/n14/mode/1up?q=164

Here is the original (copied actually in the late 1600s) birth record of their daughter Mary:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-9979-RXH7?i=8&cc=2061550&cat=232933
Her birth is also recorded in the Boston records here:

You are amazing. It looks like the daughter Mary's birth date is actually 23 March 1644/5, agree? That bumps up tightly against the reported next child Joshua, but he died as an infant, so was possibly premature? Again, I am just trusting the profile and have not tried to find his baptismal or death record.

I think the year was 1644. If it was the 23rd of the 1st month of 1644, that would be March 23, 1644.

The way I read these is that she was born in the first month (March) of 1644. Not 1645. As an example, see the Dedham published VRs here. When you see '1644 look back to the prior entries, being "12th month" (or February of 1644).

Joshua was born 1645, 30th of the 8th month, or October 30 1645. Record is here. This was a fertile family.

Hanna was born 1646, 14th of the 12th mo. (14 Feb 1647) Her record is on the same page as Joshua's.

Yes, I do see that. What was confusing to me is that if it's correct that the marriage occurred on 15 Mar 1643/4, this means that the first child was born 8 days after they married. Which is, of course, possible.

Madison-125 Bobbie (Madison) Hall
No, Scott, I read their date of marriage as 15 March 1643. Original record is here. There's no 'double dating' in the records, and it reads as the 1st month of 1643, so March 1643.

So now that brings us full circle, doesn't it? The string began based on Steve Gilson's post below that the marriage record should be read as 15 Mar 1643/4, i.e., 1644 in new style dating. I may just be completely confused now, but are we saying that the marriage occurred in March 1643, and the first child was born in March 1644 (all new style)?

Yes. I'm afraid that Steve's post is incorrect in stating 1643/4.

Just to add my two cents... looking at the original records which are recorded old style...

I agree that Joshua Fisher and Mary Aldis were married 15 March 1642/3

and their first child Mary was born on 23 March 1643/4

And just for fun, should we mention that the new year began on March 25?

According to the Dedham VR's, page 126, their Marriage was on "1643 15th of the 1 mo." which would be 15 mar 1643-4 (NS)
