Lorraine Williams discovered fellow retirees James 'Jimmy' McLoughlin and Josephine Morey through the family history website in summer 2023

Three siblings in their 70s who have met in person for the first time after discovering through MyHeritage they all share the same dad have said they were "overjoyed" to have found one another.

Two years after James was born, Sydney met Josephine's birth mum, also in Liverpool, but the pair broke up when Josephine was two years old and she also ended up in foster care. The family believe Sydney had an affair with Lorraine's mother around that time as Lorraine was born just 13 months after Josephine and a few years later, Sydney, Lorraine and her mother emigrated to Canada.

Lorraine added: "I can tell you with absolute certainty my dad would be over the moon with this, he would be just tickled pink, he would be so proud of them, because I am." He said: "We met up with her a few times, and she was saying she'd loved me all my life, but she didn't show it, and it just upset the kids too."

"I've been told off for putting white, and people always say I should put black, but my mother was white, so it was always confusing." In summer 2023, Lorraine found Josephine through a DNA match on MyHeritage, and shortly after with the help of Chloe Fox, Josephine's granddaughter found James.
