The figures at the link in the above Request for Clarification above
don't quite agree with those taken from the table in a zip file at
this
site: http://users.chariot.net.au/~gmarts/eastcalc.htm 

For the years in question, this document places the dates of Easter on
the Western, Orthodox and Julian calendars thusly:

     WESTERN           ORTHODOX            JULIAN
      -------------      -------------      -------------     
      30 March 1975       4  May  1975      21 April 1975
      18 April 1976      25 April 1976      12 April 1976
      10 April 1977      10 April 1977      28 March 1977
      26 March 1978      30 April 1978      17 April 1978
      15 April 1979      22 April 1979       9 April 1979
       6 April 1980       6 April 1980      24 March 1980
      19 April 1981      26 April 1981      13 April 1981
      11 April 1982      18 April 1982       5 April 1982
       3 April 1983       8  May  1983      25 April 1983
      22 April 1984      22 April 1984       9 April 1984
       7 April 1985      14 April 1985       1 April 1985
      
I was curious about this question because I was born the night before
Easter on April 8, 1950, which means that April 9, 1950 was Easter,
and this file bears that out for the Western calendar. However, not
once in the nearly 55 years since then has my birthday fallen on
Easter, though it looks as though my 57th birthday *will* be on Easter
according to the Western  calendar.

Further, according to this file, Easter has fallen on the 7th of April
twice according to the Western calendar, in 1985 and 1996, though not
on the 9th.  According to the Orthodox calendar, it has fallen on the
7th once, in 1991, and twice on the 9th, in 1961 and 1972.

However, this set of dates also concurs that Easter has not fallen on
April 9th during the time period of 1975-1985.

So, the question is, how would you like us to proceed in light of the
fact that published sources apparently disagree as to the "official"
dates of Easter, and it would seem that none place Easter on April 9
during the years you're asking about?

Thank you,
Byrd-ga

My mistake. On looking over these tables, I see that according to the
Julian calendar, Easter did in fact fall on April 9 in both 1979 and
1984. Clearly, I was looking at only the Western and Orthodox lists.
So then, please indicate if you are willing to accept the Julian
dates, and I will be happy to post those in the answer box, or else
let us know what would constitute an acceptable answer to your
question.
