A quick look on the Cambridgeshire Libraries website says that they hold on microfilm:

Cambridge Daily/Evening News 1888-current
Cambridge Independent Press 1815-1981

I should think there would be something reported in the press - is that what you mean when you say you want to find details?

How well do you know Cambridge?  I don't know of an East Street in Cambridge today.  There is an East Road.  And Fulbourn Hospital is still in existence, a couple of miles outside the city.

Hi Jo Jo
Sorry it was East Road, my mistake, i have the Death Certificate, the fathers name is Bertie Langford and looking up Births her Mothers maiden name is Anderson and it was an Anderson that murdered her, so he is on the Mothers side. I just want any info that can help me perhaps trace it back to my Langfords in my tree, i.e., age of father or siblings that might help me find a marriage cert. of parents etc.  That's all, a lot I know, but u never know someone may be able to help me.
I dont know Cambridge at all i'm afraid. 
Thanx anyway i'll look up yr info tho.
Regards Margaret.
