Newmarket Newspaper 1840

[rebeccaclaire86]

I purchased the death certificate of my ancestor's sister Susan Hurst from 1840 and found out that she was accidentally burned to death, and it was registered by the coroner.  I'd really like to find out more about this event, but I don't believe the coroner's records for Newmarket have survived. 

I can't find anything about it on any newspapers currently on FindMyPast or Newspapers.com.  Could anyone please suggest which titles might cover the Newmarket area (she died in Cheveley) in 1840?  The Bury Free Press and Newmarket Journal which are good for covering this area didn't start until later. 

Thank you!

The Cambridge Chronicle which is on FindMyPast carries reports for the Newmarket area for the period you are looking for.

It is possible that it was not reported as this sort of 'accident' was not uncommon with open fires

Thanks - I've checked those now and it isn't in there.  Thank you anyway!
