Changing to New Style dates in 1752?
I know that when England changed to the Gregorian calendar in 1752 the date of New Year also changed from 25 March to 1 January.
Does this mean that, at the time, there were no Old Style dates between 1 January 1752 and 24 March 1752?

Sept 14th1752 is when the dates changed, the 3rd to 13th Sept inclusive were, "lost". So in answer to your question, everything from 1st Jan to 24th March 1752. was in the old style dating.

25th March was followed immediately by 6th April - the days between were "lost" by legal edict. There were riots in the streets in many places - "Give us back our eleven days" - people were worried that their lives were to be cut short by eleven days.
A similar disturbance occurred in eastern USA in mid 19th century when times were equalised to make rail timetabling simpler - riots demanding the return of the lost "eleven minutes".
