Hello Katiekik,
I should think that many children were taken away from the home by well meaning adults and the management of the home may also have thought that it would be in the childs best interest... the family name was Reade

I know these are old posts but I am very interested in the photograph of the boys in Styal Homes.  My father and his brother and sister were in Styal 1908 to 1912.  I have contacted Manchester in the past and all they would tell me was where they had been admitted from.  My sister and I would dearly love a photo, especially of my father.  The earliest one of him we have was taken on his wedding day in 1927.  There is a little boy in the group photo who we think has a likeness of him but maybe that is wishful thinking.  Does anyone know where I can write?
