Meaning of R.S.D. on Huntingdon birth certificate.

[Peter L. Mitchell]

This birth certificate (July 2 1889) of an ancestor has the place of birth as Catworth, Hunts. R.S.D. Does anyone know what this stands for?

Thanks,

Thanks Bookbox. The birth was illegitimate, so would there be some connection I'm missing between the circumstances of the mother and the Rural Sanitary District?

No. The RSD is just an administrative division of local government and tells you nothing about the circumstances.
