Here are two examples of the "KINGSDON" udc which was issued in June 1848 under Somerton.
The first example takes a bit of deciphering - I think what happened was that the wrapper was sent from London to Yeovil on 11th August 1858; then the wrapper was reused with a second stamp being added and was sent from Kingsdon to Yeovil on 20th August 1858. Both stamps have been cancelled with Taunton circular duplex on 20th August; the right hand stamp has some evidence of a London barred numeral cancel underneath.
The second example is a simpler example on an envelope posted from Kingsdon to London on 31st January 1859.
