TWO sisters living in Chippenham and Swindon who were finally reunited after 50 years, are looking for their three remaining half siblings.

Sue De-Haven, 56, of Park Lane, Chippenham was separated from her sister Eileen Moulton, 54 at Bristol Downends when she was just a toddler.

Mrs De-Haven said: “I was unexpectedly fostered, shall we say! My now adoptive sister who was working in the nursery took me home one weekend and then more weekends followed after that.

“One weekend, we got snowed in and I ended up staying with them but Eileen, my half-sister, went to her birth father who is not my father.”

The sisters, although having brief contact when Eileen turned 18, lost touch with each other, prompting the eldest to begin her search of records in the 1990s and later online using Genes Reunited and ancestry websites.

After trawling through record after record, Eileen’s daughter discovered her aunt on Facebook and the two sisters agreed to meet up, something BBC One’s Family Finders filmed for their show being aired June 2 at 11am.

“We agreed to meet at Swindon Railway Station,” Mrs De-Haven said. “As the train was pulling up, I saw this woman who looked exactly like me, but because we agreed to meet outside I convinced myself that it wasn’t her.

“After panicking, I called her and she came running towards me and we flung our arms around each other. I couldn’t take my eyes off her because I have never met anyone who looks so much like me.

“It was the most wonderful feeling meeting Eileen and my adoptive family could not have been better. I was quite a troubled child and they had to bear with that for a lot of years.”

The nurse that was responsible for Mrs De-Haven’s adoption and now her adoptive sister attended the reunion too, as she had known both children from her work at the nursery.

Now the sisters have turned their attention to finding their other three half-siblings, something that is proving difficult to uncover due to errors in records and the way the adoption register works.

They are looking for Phillip born in 1963, Maria Juliet born in 1964 and Christine Shirley born in 1968.

Mrs De-Haven added: “It is likely they are still in the Bristol or Wiltshire area and it would just be nice if someone knows their whereabouts and if they wanted to meet Eileen and I.”
