  • Land Title Research and the HLRV
    Land title research and the new HLRV website Handout NSW Land Registry Services NSW Land Registry Services (NSW LRS) − the business name of Australian Registry Investments – operates land titling and registry operations in NSW.1 It is also responsible for the Historical Land Records Viewer (HLRV).2 There is a list of the records that have been digitised at: https://www.nswlrs.com.au/Historical-Records-Online. Only ones with an asterisk are on HLRV. Background Crown lands and land grants In 1770 Lieutenant James Cook claimed possession of the east coast of Australia for the British Crown. All lands were vested in the Crown (hence Crown lands). Between 1792 and 1831 Governor Phillip and later Governors issued free grants of this land on behalf of the Crown. The document known as a Crown grant provided evidence of ownership. The sale of Crown land by private tender began in 1825. In a Despatch dated 9 January 1831 the NSW Governor was instructed to issue no more free grants (except those already promised) and to sell all Crown land at public auction. Indexes to and registers of land grants from 1792 to 1862 can be searched at no charge on HLRV. They are also available at NSW State Archives and on Ancestry.com. Note: All Crown grants, including free grants, were subject to quit rent (a notional payment). Settlement ‘Beyond the limits of location’ In an attempt to curb unauthorised occupation of Crown lands Governor Darling’s order of 5 September 1826 defined the boundaries ‘within which Persons, who may be allowed to purchase, or to receive Grants, on paying an annual Quit-rent, will be permitted to make their Selection’ ('limits of location').
