I am in the process of reviewing and updating Paul Sheldon's "A Record of Grand Prix and Voiturette Racing" 1926-31. Boucly is in the first edition as a driver of Salmson, Rally and Tony Specials, mainly in the south of France. The first name shown is Marcel. The many Web sites that use our book as a source (usually without a credit) show the same.
I have found five pieces of evidence to indicate that Marcel may be wrong and it should be Roger. The purpose of this post is to ask if anyone has evidence of Marcel, or can further support Roger as the chap's first name - or were there two drivers ?
French period programmes and reports only rarely gave driver first names but these are the instances I have found -
La Stampa 20.6.32 report on hillclimb
Express du Midi 22.02.35 announcing the marriage engagement of Roger Boucly "the racing driver from Nice who is entered in the Pau GP"
Petit Nicois 03.03.30 - advertisement for success by Tony Special
l'Eclaireur de Nice et Sud-Est 07.04.33 Results for La Turbie hillclimb
ADAC document for 31 Avusrennen - I have been told (but not seen) that this uses Roger
