False dawn Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Stan Mauger is listed on the Bees Website History as riding for Coventry in 1929 and 1931. He is also listed as an Englishman. I can't find anything about him and with such an unusual surname, I was wondering if he was related to Ivan.

Guest Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 I visited the excellent SPEEDWAY RESEARCHER and found the following Link. There are mentions of Stan Mauger as being one of the track's riders, but I cannot seem to find a mention of him in the actual 1929 match results. http://www.speedwayresearcher.org.uk/coventry1929.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry FalseDawn can't help you on your question regarding Ivan. Just wanted to add he rode at Coventry 1929 to 1933. Mainly reserve/second halves.

He was reserve when West Ham visited in the League on the 23rd May. 1 ride, 1 point (3rd place) plus 1 bonus (modern day term of course). He rode 9 matches (various competitions) in 1931 for the Bees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would appear from 1931 newspaper reports that he rode mainly in junior or handicap races. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BL65 Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Although unusual in the UK, Mauger is a common surname in Guernsey and Jersey (Channel Islands), with Norman origins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then that begs the question does Ivan's family originate there? And the chance that Stan and Ivan are related looks even more likely.

I understand that Ivan's grandparents moved to New Zealand from Guernsey, but I have no information on Stan's ancestry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
