IN THE TRADITION OF READE FAMILY BUSINESS IN CHESHIRE SINCE CIRCA 1775
COPYRIGHT © 2009 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
This area of our web site is designed as an interface for Reade family members involved in family history research.
The Reade’s are a old English family descending from yeoman farming stock on the high Staffordshire moorlands at Blackwood Hill near Leek, close to where Rudyard Lake now is.
A book was published about our family in 1906, ‘The Reades of Blackwood Hill and Dr Johnson’s Ancestry’. We are maternally related to the great lexicographer.
Visitors to the site are welcome to look at the content of these pages.
