Whoops, I jumped the gun, got all excited about getting Newtons burth year and forgot there had been other questions 
No probs...........
Just one year question left to answer please :
3/ In what year did Dr Edward Jenner develop a vaccine for smallpox ?
Clue : It was before Florence Nightingale was born in 1820 and after Issac Newton was born in 1643.

Given that he would have been middleagedish when he did his, what would now be very unethical, work I would guess at last half of the 18th century. 1771 and 1780 are incorrect so I will try
1793
A systematic but tedious way of doing this is to just post innumerable guesses starting at 1701, but I am not (quite) that strange and sad an individual.

None of us know - can you please just tell us?
Ok as you are so close, the correct answer was 1796.
The winner with 3 correct answers is @OhNoAPacer and has already set some questions on post #18,755 in error,
whether they still stand I will hand the baton over. Thank you to all those who took part.

A good answer but not correct I am afraid, if I had intended that answer I would have added John and Anne to the list.

Clues for the remaining two unanswered questions
3. Think of who preceded them (and I don't put Matilda in there)
4. Queen Victoria could also be on the list (as could I)
