How we source these
Public holidays are taken from official government sources for each country and cover national holidays only. The United States, Canada and Australia all have significant state and provincial holidays that are not shown, and India’s system of state, optional and restricted holidays means only three days are observed nationwide. Where a government has not yet published a year, we say so rather than guess. Always check the official source for the country concerned rather than relying on this alone.
January 9th through history
Income tax invented, telephone reinvented
On January 9th 1799 William Pitt the Younger introduced income tax to Britain, at two shillings in the pound on incomes over £200, to pay for the war against Napoleon. It was promised as a temporary measure. It was repealed in 1816, reintroduced in 1842, and has been renewed by an annual Finance Act every year since. Income tax therefore still expires each spring, technically, and has to be voted back into existence.
On January 9th 2007, at the Macworld conference in San Francisco, Steve Jobs stood on stage and said he had three things to announce: a widescreen iPod with touch controls, a revolutionary mobile phone, and a breakthrough internet communicator. Then he repeated the list until the audience understood it was one device. The iPhone went on sale that June.
Nelson was buried at St Paul’s on January 9th 1806. His body had come up the Thames from Greenwich the day before in a procession of barges, and he was laid in a coffin made from the mainmast of a French flagship destroyed at the Nile, which one of his own captains had given him seven years earlier as a keepsake.
Catherine, Princess of Wales was born in Reading on January 9th 1982, the daughter of a British Airways flight dispatcher and a stewardess who built a party-supplies business from the kitchen table.
Born on January 9th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Catherine, Princess of Wales and Richard Nixon — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Capricorn — an Earth sign ruled by Saturn, symbolised by the Sea-Goat.
Birthstone
Garnet for January.
Birth flower
Carnation (primary), also Snowdrop — most commonly cited sources agree on carnation as the main January flower.
None of this is settled fact in the way the history above is — zodiac dates, birthstones and birth flowers are conventions rather than laws, and different sources hedge them slightly differently. The birthstone is the most standardised of the three (set by the trade in 1912 and revised since); the birth flower is the least, resting on Victorian tradition rather than any governing body.

A small, themed starting point rather than a shopping list — garnet for the stone, Capricorn for the sign, and the sky itself on the day.
