Would anyone know if the Speedway rider in Southampton Speedway team of 1930 Eric Lister was born in Maryport and has the middle names of Gordon Stanton please?

Eric Lister rode for a "Homelands" team versus a "Colonies" team in 1929.
That would put his age at that time as in his 20's?

So, a birth would be 1895-1911?

12 August 1929 - Portsmouth Evening News gives his age as 18 and 'of Southampton'
(He had only been riding at speedways for the last 3 months)

Eric was born 9th july 1910 in Maryport, other members of his family were living Southampton area too so I think it must be him, he only seems to be mentioned in 1929/30.
