Good Afternoon,
This data base of NSW residents is somewhat out of my area of research – pre 1900, but when I discovered the book I could not resist in adding it to my databases as it may provide useful information to my readers.
It is based on the listing of all Cars and Owners for 1915. It contains 9,318 names, addresses, registration number, horse power, make of the car(s) , seating capacity and importantly the price
So if you want to know where grandfather lived and what car he or maybe grandmother was driving, the make and horse power of the car, how many of the family it would carry, where it was manufactured and importantly in most cases how much it costs this new data base will add a new avenue for your research.
Once you know the make, model and country of manufacture you can then search for an image of the car to add to your tree. Once you know the cost you can convert it to present-day value to provide an indication of grandfather socio-economic status. PS If you need PDV help, ask.
Follow the links for more information but note I am still in the slow process of uploading some names and places.
