Judith and Jennifer Walton were adopted separately at birth. Then for the next 67 years these twin sisters never saw each other, despite living just three miles apart in South Yorkshire, England, The Star reported.

They were given up by their unmarried mother, Eva, in 1943. Without either of them knowing, they shared the same doctor and dentist and their children and grandchildren were members of the same drama group. Jen worked for 40 years in the Rotherham town center Boots store -- the same store where Judith, renamed Kath by her adoptive parents, got her prescriptions. Jen's husband, Howard, also attended the same schools as Kath, in the year below her, and a workmate of Jen's was pals with Kath.

The twins have been brought together by new ITV1 series "Long Lost Family." Jen said she had often dreamed of one day finding her sister. She had first tried 14 years ago to trace Kath through social services, without success. （点击《星报》查看原文）

双胞胎姐妹67年后重聚

       据英国《星报》报道，朱迪斯·沃尔顿和珍妮弗·沃尔顿两姐妹从一出生就各自被领养。67年来，这对双胞胎姐妹从未见过面，尽管他们都在英国南约克郡居住，相隔仅3英里（约5公里）远。

       1943年，他们被他们的未婚妈妈伊娃抛弃。这么多年来，他们谁都不知道姐妹俩竟然看同一位医生和牙医、他们的孩子和孙子也在同一个戏剧社。珍妮弗在罗瑟勒姆小镇的一家博姿店工作了40年，而被养父母改名为凯瑟琳的朱迪斯竟然经常在此店买药。珍妮弗的老公和凯瑟琳上过同一所学校，是她的学弟；珍妮弗的同事也是凯瑟琳的好友。

       这对双胞胎姐妹通过英国独立电视台1台的一档新节目《失散家庭》找到了彼此。珍妮弗称，她做梦都想终有一天会找到她的姐妹。14年前她曾试图通过社交机构来寻找朱迪斯，可是没有成功。
