We don't often disagree, but regarding your Rule 3 I would
countenance against using the abbreviation of RD. As more 20c UK
Censuses become available it is highly likely that one will find
RD commonly used as it means Rural District. I recommend writing
Registration District in full, or just writing "Registered in Epsom".
Of course. I've been out of the UK for too long :-)
The suggestion of using the RD: prefix was just a quick, off the top of
the head, kind of thing. Provided you're consistent, it shouldn't matter
too much, provided you clearly distinguish between the Epsom
Registration District and the town of Epsom.
Seem to recall one or two long-winded discussions in the past on the LUG
concerning the use of abbreviations (US states?) that could lead to
mis-interpretation of facts. Perhaps your idea of using [[Registration
District]] as a prefix would be preferable :-)
