Newspaper archives - Cambridge 1941
« on: Friday 07 August 09 21:04 BST (UK) »
Hello
I wonder if anyone can assist.  I am looking for any newspaper article in respect of a bigamy trial at Cambridge Assizes on 30 May 1941 (and the subsequent sentencing).  The defendants were Hazel K Innes and Gordon J Truscott.
Many thanks

Hi Purp

I think you might find that old news papers are kept at the Cambridge Central Libary, and at the moment it is being refurbished
