Thank you very much. I can go to bed without thinking about it now. I would never have got that one. :-)

It means urban sanitary district

Each district was governed by a sanitary authority and was responsible for various public health matters such as providing clean drinking water, sewers, street cleaning, and clearing slum housing.

In England and Wales, both rural and urban sanitary districts were replaced in 1894 by the Local Government Act 1894 by the more general rural districts and urban districts. A similar reform was carried out in Ireland in 1899 by the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898.

This weekend I am flying to Belgium to pay my respects to William Barton (Dadizeele) & William Field (Monchy-Le-Preux) who sacrificed all in WW1. I received their birth certificates today. One born in St George, Birmingham & the other Oldbury 1883 & 1890 respectively. They both appeared to have been born at home. Each have after their birth address what appears to be usd with one written u.s.d. Has anybody any idea what this meant?
