Reading children's homes 1926-1930?
« on: Thursday 15 October 20 19:57 BST (UK) »
Hello Rootschatters

I'm hoping you can help me?  Is there a list anywhere of children's homes in Reading in the 1926-30 period please?

I have written to Berkshire Record Office but the message on the website says responses might be slow at the moment as they are so busy with enquiries.

Thanks.

Have you checked www.childrenshomes.org.uk?
It's a sister site to the workhouses site.

There's some very useful information there, but basically it sends me to the Berkshire Record Office, so I'll have to patient and wait for their reply.
