Audrey, by coincidence I was just looking for that book - I can't remember whether I bought it or had it from the library - to answer a question about mourning for someone on another list. I have just found the answer I wanted in another very interesting book, David Cressy's 'Birth Marriage and Death, ritual, religion and the life-cycle in tudor and stuart England' - OUP 1997, ISBN0-19-820168-0.
