Friends of 30 years discover they are actually sisters

Two women who have known each other for nearly 30 years spoke of their shock – after discovering they were sisters.

Deborah Day, 44, and Marilyn Morris, 45, were separated just two months after Deborah's birth, when she went to live with an adoption family – a 15-minute walk from her real family.

The pair, from Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, were unwittingly reunited as teenagers, when they both worked at a local supermarket and quickly sparked up a close friendship – despite being totally unaware they were related.



The amazing discovery finally came to light when eldest sister Sally Griffiths, 46, decided to trace her "lost" siblings after finding out Deborah had been put up for adoption as a baby.

After she found her adopted sister, Sally began a search for Marilyn after the pair had lost touch years earlier.

When the family were eventually reunited, the sisters were shocked to discover they had all lived within one mile of each other and even sent their children to the same school.
