Residents of New South Wales -Motorists 1915

Introduction

This data base has been compiled from the  9,318 entries in-

“Holderness Motorist’s Guide for New South Wales. 1915. Being a complete record in numerical order of all Cars and Owners registered in New South Wales and containing much other valuable information for Motorists’

Published by Holderness Motors Ltd. Rawson Place, Sydney.

As such it is a part of my Residents of NSW Series and it contains 9,318 entries.

Notes:

The original data contains the provision of the Finance Tax 1914 applicable on all motor vehicles and the amount of tax payable per horse power.It lists the technical details eg cylinder measurements, gear ratios and in most cases the price.

There has been a number of vehicles with no details of registration or which are not listed in the Technical and Price listing. In a number of cases the price in the database is indicative only where there is no direct price available.

Where the country of manufacture was not listed I have found such using in most cases Wikipedia.

There are numerous spelling differences in place names, in particular in aboriginal place names.
