The above postcard was purchased on eBay in 2009. It shows Hudson Jermy, Evangelist, standing at the back of his horse drawn "Gospel Mission Car" with an unidentified boy playing a portable piano. The card was published by E. Buck of Clitheroe. The reverse of the card is addressed to Mr J Brunskill of Rorkey Farm, Crosby Ganett, Kirkby Stephen, in what is now Cumbria. The message says "With very kind regards to all and best wishes for a happy Xmas and New Year". It is signed by Mr H. Jermy. The date the card was posted is not clear, but it may be 23 December 1910.
A search of the 1911 census shows March Jermy, aged 41, in his Gospel Mission car in Aldbrough, near Darlington, Yorkshire. He is listed as an evangelist, with no other occupation, who was born in Wroxham, Norfolk. It would appear that his vehicle was parked outside the United Methodist Church in Aldbrough.
Fortunately, in my database of Jermy families, I have a record of a March Jermy who was born in Wroxham in March 1870. He was the youngest child of William Jermy and Eleanor Hudson, who were married in St Mary, Wroxham on 14 September 1848. His father William was an agricultural labourer, who died shortly after March's birth, in May 1870. March was obviously brought up by his mother, who is listed as a washerwoman in subsequent census records. March is listed as a scholar in the 1881 census, when he is living with the rest of his family in Wroxham. His mother subsequently died in December 1894. It would appear that March used his mother's maiden name as his christian name for his subsequent evangelical career.
The 1891 census shows him living as a lodger staying with Mary Koyles, aged 64, and her daughter Laura, aged 26, in Magdalen Road, Norwich. Mother and daughter are listed as housekeeper and dressmaker, respectively, whilst March, aged 21, is listed as a gardener. I have been unable to find any record of him in the 1901 census.
I know nothing else about his life subsequent to 1911, other than that he died on 21 February 1954, aged 83. His residence was 8 Kenlam Road, Wisbech St Peter, Cambridgeshire. It is not clear if he had any living relatives because the executor of his will is listed as Eric Searle, solicitor.
