Romanee Lane in Wigram – Named after a person connected to the Mauger family. The Maugers have been longstanding contractors and developers throughout Canterbury.
A small amount of information from the new library website. This surprised me as none of the other streets in the area are on the library website and they are older than this street. I also expected the name to be connected to the Dellaca family as there is a walkway to this street from Brusio Drive. I searched Ancestry website for both families with no luck. I did find someone with the name Romanee who lives in the Wigram area and they had a very unusual surname. I couldn’t find any connection to the Mauger family with the Ancestry website that I use.
None of the houses stood out for me. They were neat and tidy modern houses with lawns. The street had a footpath on only one side of the street. The side which had the footpath had a very wide grassy area next to the footpath so there would have been plenty of room for a footpath on both sides of the street.
