W K J Cambridge is listed in the index(Page 610,Glos Archives Reference CO 4/2/8) of the inquest books that are being transcribed for this site.

Unfortunately under the 75 year access rule it is one of those not yet available to transcribe, the inquest details will probably have been reported in the Dean Forest Mercury around the time of his burial.
