Was your relative the Isaac Jermy who was murdered by James Rush,the
famous Norfolk murderer? If so there is a large collection of cuttings
about Rush in the library of Eastern Counties newspapers in Norwich & you
will also find much info. in the Norwich Local Studies collection which is
based in Anglia Square in Norwich. Access to ECN library is by
appointment only, so it's probably best to wait until you are in Norfolk &
then phone. Both collections are listed in the local phone books.
Best of luck with your search,
