Irish Motor Directory for 1911

[AndyMcElroy]

I have published the Irish Motor Directory 1911-12 by Henry G. Tempest.

The Directory covers all 32 Counties in Ireland and also includes six County Boroughs (Belfast, Cork, Dublin, Limerick, Londonderry & Waterford).

The Directory lists the Registration, the Owners Name & Address and whether the vehicle is a Car or Bicycle.

The Irish Motor Directory is located at the following link :

I hope this info is useful those tracing ancestors in Ireland.

Thank you for posting this link and sharing your publication. It is marvellous.

Wonderful resource. County of registration is not always place of residence for the owner so you may have to search more than one county to find a vehicle.

Fantastic do you have later editions? 1926? Trying to identify a car that my relatives had in 1926.

Hi Quinn,

No sorry i don't have any other editions. I was at PRONI today and they do not have any editions of the Irish Motor Directory.

I would love to try and get other editions.

Here's a link to 1913/14 edition- if I find other years I'll post.

Thanks for that.

Found a granduncle on it who had a motorbike in 1911.Something I never knew.

Hi Noland,

Who was the relative that you found, glad the site helped you trace that.

I reckon it could be a good resource for people who have old photos of a car registration and can easily trace who the owner was.
