don't worry it isn't a virus, it is a book.Relating to the poor laws of Bedfordshire in 1838.It mentions in some detail the case of one Susan Bunker, when she was burried her son.She had to apply for the coffin and became quite upset when the local majistrate would not give her the money for the two women who laid out the body.It is quite an extrordinary snap shot in to the way things were.
Anyway I hope this helps in some way,
Andrew.
