It's just a level of local government who dealt with public health issues. See this site: http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/types/type_page.jsp?unit_type=SAN_DIST Merry |

I'd go with Merry's suggestion. It is probably a curly D. Kath. x |

Are you sure it's not USD - Urban Sanitary District? Urban Sanitary Districts existed nationally from 1875 to 1894. Merry |

On the birth certificate of my grandad, in the when and where born box, it says under the address u. s. w. He was born in Stockton on Tees in 1883 and I was wondering if this could be anything to do with a workhouse. It would be very helpful if anyone knows what it means. Cheryl |
