Hi, I have several relatives who lived in the Eston, Liverton, Loftus, Saltburn and Skelton areas and would like to know what UD stood for after the address in column 1 of birth or death certificates. Thanks Caz

Urban District, I believe. Incidentally, my ancestors are from that area, too. Margaret

Yes, Caz, I've got my fair share of ironstone miners. If you happen to have ancestors in Eston Cemetery my gt. grandad probably buried them. He was Cemetery Superintendant. Margaret
