Joseph Orme Jr. (parents: Joseph Sr. and Eliza Orme) was born in 1861 (according to immigration records at Ellis Island) in England, and married Sarah Woodruff (date unknown). They had six children: Joseph Orme III, Emily, May, Mary, Nellie Ellen (Nell), and Caroline (Carrie) - my paternal grandmother. Joseph Jr. came from London through Ellis Island on March 31, 1906 with $150 in his pocket and settled in at 87 Smith Street, Perth Amboy, NJ. He found work as a terra cotta laborer where he is pictured in the two group shots. In the above photo, taken outside, he can be found in the second row, fifth man from the right - with the large dark moustache, wearing a white hat.
In this photo taken inside the factory, Joseph is the second man from the right, again sporting the large dark moustache, wearing a dark cap.
In this portrait, Joseph is shown during his later years, probably around 1920. Around that time, Joseph and his wife Sarah returned to England where they lived the remainder of their years with their son Joseph III and his wife May. Joseph died around 1926 and Sarah died around 1925. Both are buried in London.
