I received an email from the grandaughter of Bert shown below

 

Hi -My grandfather was Herbert Horace Ivey or Bert Ivey. We thought he was a racer at Harringay. He later went to Australia in the 1950s. People have said he was a popular rider - not sure of the era - between the wars or pre or ...? Do you have any suggestions? Sarah

 

So was Bert Ivey well known and what teams did he ride for

The name Bert Ivey fails to come up on any of the prewar or post war team lists. It could be he rode second halfs or for teams such as Rye house or Dagenham whose results are harder to find.

ias I am Australia based i would be interested to know where he lived in Australia and maybe i can find some results here.

I regret that I cannot trace Bert Ivey in any records I have access to. As stated he maybe rode in secondhalf and Junior racing nonleague events

Perhaps he rode under another name, as some people did in the old days????
