Well I certainly add "Registration District" if that's the closest
location I have.
I wouldn't use privacy brackets for it. You don't want to mislead
others that the birth took place in Epsom if the closest you have is
Epsom Registration District.

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 :-)
