  • What does it mean?

    I have just printed off the transcript for a household in 1911 (I only had 10 credits left :-((( ). The address is given as Allison Hotel, North Cave RSO. What does RSO stand for please?

    Are we talking about North Cave at the end of the M62 near Hull? Looking at my O.S. atlas doesn't give any clues.

        I've just had look at the enumerator's descriptions of the 3 books covering North Cave in the 1901 census and there's nothing there that gives a clue.

        I would reckon Tony's correct with RSD.

        Were they there in 1901 as well? What are the names and I'll look the page for you

          Gallowaylass....thanks for the offer but they weren't there in 1901

          Tony....I think you may be correct

          UJ....thanks for looking. I only live down the road and can't think of anything it could stand for other than Tony's suggestion

          Thanks everyone for your replies

                  I can only imagine that North Cave would have been very insanitary in those days :D It's a bit back of beyond even today lol

                    In the context, Rural Sanitary District sounds marginally more likely.

                      RSO usually just means Usual Residence.

                            I agree with the Rural Sanitary District.

                            My birth certificate states USD, Urban Sanitary District.

                              Well I might be getting my census mixed up but on the Australian or/and Canadian ones RSO and RSV mean Usual Residence I think.

                              Don't shoot me... :p
