Three brothers in their 70s met in person for the first time after discovering that they all share the same father.
Lorraine Williams, 74, from British Columbia, Canada, discovered fellow retirees James McLoughlin, 77, from Liverpool, and Josephine Morey, 75, a resident of the Isle of Wight, through the family history website MyHeritage.
It turned out that Lorraine's father, Arthur Sydney John, who died aged 80 in 2000, had fathered James and Josephine in the UK before emigrating to Canada in 1951, where Lorraine and her mother joined him the following year. .
Discovering each other seven decades later, the half-siblings have become incredibly close through calls and online messages.
