Trying to find out more about my grandfather, who was an orphan in Indiana.

Question

My dad's father, my grandfather Kenneth William Redden was born in 1910, he was on a census report with his younger brother Charles Redden, it shows they were in an orphanage home in, (I believe the 1920 census) Delaware County, Indiana.
I believe my grandfather was born in Indiana in November of 1910, he later married Violet Bessie Rolls in Texas, they had 4 children, Kenneth Augusta, Judith "Judy", Barbara and Wanda.My grandfather passed away in March 1983.
I have been searching, and keep coming to dead end. Can someone please help me. Thank you

Mr. Gill
Does this also list a child named Kenneth Augusta Redden? That would be my father?  Didn't see him listed as a child of Kenneth and Violet.
